    Christoff Reef Mines - Physical Description 1

    Extending in a north-north-westerly direction from a forest track towards Adelaide Hill, there is a line of small mullock heaps which have been partially bulldozed to fill shafts. Near the northern end of the line of workings is a larger mullock heap. No evidence of an associated machinery site was found with this heap, but near a dry dam south of the heap is a deposit of battery sand. West of the central group of mullock heaps are several large cacti, suggesting the former site of a garden and house.
