RED ROSE BATTERY - History
Heritage Inventory History of Site: Nothing is known of the history of the Red Rose site. An historical photo of a water-powered battery, captioned 'Red Rose Waterwheel and Battery near Grant', featured in Flett's 1965 article on the Crooked River goldfield. It is possible that the mine/reef was known by another name during its early history. There is a remote possibility of a connection with the Rose of Australia Reef, listed during 1864-5 as being in the Good Luck Creek vicinityāRed Rose Creek is an upper tributary of Good Luck Creek.Heritage Inventory Description
