    JAMIESON ALLUVIAL WORKINGS - History

    Heritage Inventory History of Site:
    The alluvial workings probably date to the 1930s, but they also may relate to claims taken up on a lead discovered near Jamieson township in 1872. About 12 claims were taken up at that time and worked by shaft.

    JAMIESON ALLUVIAL WORKINGS - Heritage Inventory Description

    The alluvial workings at Jamieson commence about 20m above the Goulburn River and consist of six to eight adits in groups of two or three. The workings are in only fair condition, having partially collapsed. Timber spars remain in some. Small piles of stone are heaped up on levelled areas just in front of each group of adits. They are all connected to a 1ha flat area on the bank of the Goulburn River, via a small track. Further up on top of the bank are several vertical shafts, about 900x600 mm, which may have been connected to the adits. Some are about 20 ft deep.
