[QUOTE="oldtimerROB, post: 433497, member: 8947"] That school was built in the 1860,s served the farming community and I expect initially the miners families.Sold last year.In 1872 it was a prime target for a kidnapping due to its isolated location and they soon closed it. I did some exploring behind the res. for diggings and a bit further away accidentally came upon the lost Welsh Village in the forrest.It was quiet big with stone foundations and I should have quickly started detecting for coins as when I went back after a few months it was closed to the public and the whole site protected under heritage laws. I used to climb Mt.Alexander from the Oak Forrest and near the top there were more flat areas and once I saw a huge cat light brown in color which I concluded must have been a Mountain Lion or Cougar.
