Statement of Significance

It is extremely rare to find a puddling machine for which there is documentary evidence which can confirm its provenance. This appears to be the case for both puddling machines at this site (criterion A). Puddling machine technology, whilst initially imported, was developed further in Victoria and was particularly important for the early development of alluvial mining in this state (criterion A).The ability to be able to construct a dateable sequence of puddling machines is particularly important for the purpose of dating other sites for which there is little or no documentary evidence (criterion C).
