MOPOKE GULLY SLUICING - History
Heritage Inventory History of Site: No history was found on this site. The workings are well preserved and their scale suggests that they would date to the nineteenth century. The revival of alluvial mining during the Great Depression (1930s) tended to be fairly small scale stuff. Creswick's main sluicing period was during the 1860s and 1870s.Heritage Inventory Description
