Australian History

Pablo, is the answer the Mansfield Courthouse?

Ned Kelly, Joe Byrne, Steve Hart and Arron Sherrit were declared outlaws there after the Stingybark Creek murders.

A bit further north and they shared this place with quite a few others. Built from material at the site.

Google is your friend.

Just caught up after 270 pages, bloody good read, I`ll name Glenrowan in case everyones looking for a difficult answer.

 

[PabloP]

Not Glenrowan. I could give another couple of clues that would quickly bring this to a close, but will let it run for a while yet.

Rob.

Bullock Creek hideout? Stone hut they repaired from an old prospectors ruins?

GT

 

[PabloP]

Nope, a formal establishment and quite large.

Rob,

From Wikipedia,
Byrne and Sherritt were later convicted of stealing a bullock and served six months in HM Prison Beechworth. During this imprisonment, Byrne and Sherritt met Jim Kelly who was the brother of Ned and Dan Kelly. Joe Byrne met in 1876 and the pair soon became firm friends.

Rob,

Beechworth jail

 

[PabloP]

You both got it, but TathraDJ was first by about 11 minutes, so over to you.

A bit more "Australian History", I would get my hair cut in Beechworth as a kid for 2 bob. How things have changed.

I am a place.
I was setup during the Gold Rush in the early years but my mines could not go deep enough
as water was and still is an issue.
A study was done recently to see if it was worth it to attempt to mine again and now there
is a new mine being developed and opened.

 

[DrDuck]

Just a quick guess is it the Dargues Gold Mine at Majors Creek? It is the first new gold mine approved in NSW for a while.

Beat me to it

 

[Smoky bandit]

Was it gympie.

 

[HappyGoLucky86]

I aggree with dr duck. I think its The Dargues Reef Mine which is a opencut and shaft mine.

The Dargues Reef Mine is located just off the Majors Creek in southeast New South Wales.

 

[Tathradj]

Sorry for the delay in hinting people.
Thanks DrDuck for reminding me.
Answer is,
No.
I will give another hint shortly.
Apart from being in Victoria.

 

[DrDuck]

Is it OCTAGONAL Resources new open-pit gold mine in Amherst central Victoria, near Maryborough, the Pearl Croydon Mine?

 

[Tathradj]

No mate.
The name of the place is synonymous with an old song about a sheep dog.

 

[Tathradj]

OK.
Been going on too long.
First person in with a question takes the floor.
Answer is Shepperton.
There is a new project designed to get around the water table issue.
Go for it...

 

[Balmain Bob]
