Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The site is of local historical significance, being a tangible link to the common (tragic) story of life on the Buckland goldfield. Highlighting the range and type of work (both alluvial and quartz reef mining) undertaken by many individuals, and the loss of family through living within a mining landscape.
The Stewart story, through the remnant dwelling and garden features, also highlights the social and economic networks that once operated in this semi-industrial landscape in a remote and mountainous corner of Victoria.
The features and archaeological values of the site have some scientific and technological potential to provide insight into the daily domestic life on a remote mountain goldfield.
The site also has high interpretation values; the history, if told in context of the apparent remote ‘wilderness’ forest landscape setting today, can be a powerfully engaging experience for contemporary audiences. In particular, the site has high presentation and interpretation values in association with the proposed formalisation of the camping area by DELWP Ovens District.
