Heritage Inventory History of Site:
As with most alluvial mining features there is really no readily available information on the history of this site in Upper Goulburn Heritage Plan, Parks Victoria, 1999.Heritage Inventory Description
BURNS BRIDGE ALLUVIAL DIGGINGS - Heritage Inventory Description
An extensive area of sluiced and worked over ground, which is covered in water washed stones heaped up during the sluicing process. It contains cuttings, race lines and piles of stones discarded by the alluvial miners. There was at least one earthen water race found which suggests that at least some of the working was perhaps from the 1930s. In places the race lines have been formed by stacked stone. In other places the stone is stacked to form retaining walls. The area is covered with scrub and eucalypt regrowth. It has not been disturbed and is a good example of terrace sluicing.
