[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 310560, member: 1916"] You may be on the way to solving a real mystery creekfossicker :D In ancient times there was a mythical creature called a Rock Monster. :o Have you ever wondered where the term shiting bricks came from. ;) Have found a few old brick ruins in gold and tin producing areas, usually only a few bricks with native rock around, most likely used for the lining of fireplaces . I think they must have been for a bakery of wealthy sly pub as the cost of buying and transport in those times must have meant the investment was yielding good returns. Always find some interesting relics around old bricks, my rule of thumb is "bricks = high use area" Might be worth searching trove for your keyword place/creek names to see what pops up. [/QUOTE]
