ILLABROOK ALLUVIALS - Heritage Inventory Description
Site 184.01: The presence of the remains of the timber poppethead (collapsed in February 1993), the timbering in the shaft, the small timber trestle and the condition of the concrete indicate that this mine is of relatively recent origin. The shaft, 3m by 1m, still has timbering which clearly show the three compartments. A mullock heap platform 30m by 30m surrounds the shaft. The four concrete pads for the poppethead legs plus four concrete machinery mounting blocks surround the shaft on the mullock platform. The words A. ANQUETIL CONTRACTOR BENDIGO are scratched into the concrete on one of the pads. A 3m by 3m by 3m high timber trestle is located just north of the mullock heap platform. An area of concrete flooring, approximately 15m by 6m, with at least six concrete machinery mounting blocks is located 20m west of the shaft.
Heritage Inventory Significance: Regional, because of its intactness, and the contrast and proximity to the nearby shallow alluvial sluiced landscape.
