GREAT BUNINYONG ESTATE CO. - Heritage Inventory Description
The mullock heap, 60 m by 30 m by 7 m high, is in a prominent position and very visible from the Buninyong-Mount Mercer Road. The depression where the shaft used to be is located north of the mullock heap, 8 m further north there is an area of bricks set in the ground, plus a separate brick foundation. East of these foundations a line of stones set in a wall runs north south and has a slightly raised mound running east from its southern end to a bluestone base, probably the base to a chimney. These foundations are not complete enough to provide an understanding of how the site operated.
