STANDARD GULLY DEEP ALLUVIAL SINKINGS AND SHALLOW SINKINGS SOUTH SIDE OF GULLY - Heritage Inventory Description
/n02 A group of deep alluvial workings spread over 500 metres along the southern branch of the Standard Gully. Each set of workings is about 25 m from the adjoining set and each covers an area between 10 m by 10 m and 20 m by 20 m. Most of the mullock heaps at these sites are approximately 1 m high, with one being 3 m high. The majority of these sites have been disturbed by earth moving equipment, including the two sites that contain horse puddling machines. Even discounting the effects of the bulldozers, the puddling machines are not very good examples. The troughs have been reduced to a shallow circular depressions. These puddling machines were constructed in raised mounds built for the purpose. There are water races amongst these workings. A sparse scatter of shallow sinkings commences 100 m south from the eastern end of the deeper sinkings, and runs for a distance of 200 m. At one of these sets of sinkings is an undisturbed horse puddling machine and associated low embankment built to collect water. This puddling machine is not well defined and the trough has been reduced to a shallow circular depression.
