Contextual History:History of Place:
Heritage Inventory History of Site:
1857: Diggings at Back Creek and Amherst had nearly junctioned on Daisy Hill Flat, near Mia Mia, and in 1857 the Mysterious Lead, an intricate, winding, deep gutter, was discovered on the flat below the present cemetery.
November 1860: Several companies are at work on the Mia Mia Reef, most of shafts are 100 feet deep ... I will send you a plan of Mia Mia Flat Diggings, connected with the Hard Hill ... Parts of the flat having been opened at different periods has caused it to posses a variety of names, such as Tick Nickle, the flat supports a settled population of over 300.
December 1872: Steam machinery is now almost complete on Mia Mia Reef.
September 1873: Mia Mia Reef has turned out a complete failure. The company has now collapsed, after expending about £3000.
December 1887: 'The Mia Mia' - Very good patches of coarse gold found by Chas. Anderson, 'who appears to be peculiarly fortunate in his prognostications relating to the existence of gold'.Heritage Inventory Description
