REEDY CREEK ALLUVIAL WORKINGS - History
Heritage Inventory History of Site:
Reedy Creek, at this point, would have first been worked in 1852-3 and then intensively throughout the 1850s - 60s. In the late 1880s, the mining surveyor wrote of a large-scale operation in progress on Reid's/Reedy Creek: 'Much of Reid's Creek Valley has been washed down to the bed rock, and removed by the Excelsior Company. They are steadily advancing towards the falls at the upper end of the valley, and, by the time they have finished, there will be scarcely a trace of gold left in this once fabulously rich locality.'Heritage Inventory Description
REEDY CREEK ALLUVIAL WORKINGS - Heritage Inventory Description
The Reedy Creek workings comprise an area of sparsely vegetated, sluiced hill-slope (approximately 400 m x 200 m). A number of partly silted sluice channels (1 ft wide, 2 ft deep) are cut into bedrock on the eastern side of the workings, some of the channels extending for more than 100 m and some of them connecting.
Heritage Inventory Significance: Regional. The site has scientific significance because of its rarity and visibility.
