    HOMESTEAD CO. - Heritage Inventory Description

    These features are from a quartz mining operation and consist of one large six finger mullock heap. The shaft has been filled and the depression contains domestic rubbish. The mullock heap fans over a 90 degrees arc north east of the shaft. The fingers are between 35 and 50 m long, approximately 10 m wide and up to 3.5 m high. 70 m south east of this main shaft are six small shafts and surrounding mullock heaps. Each of these small workings is between 5 and 10 m in diameter and one is open for a depth of approximately 20 m. Further south-east there are some shallow sinkings lower down the gully.
