History
The originaly buildings were built in 1925 by the Hughes brothers and Ernie Barnett, to support their local gold mining operations. These operations finished in the 1960's.
Others pored over the site in the 1970s, but left very little in place as a result. Little from the buildings remains but some machinery is visible.
