The gold legacy

About the Indigo Gold Trail
The gold fever that gripped Victoria from the 1850s until the early decades of the 20th century left an indelible mark on the historic towns and places linked by the Indigo Gold Trail.
The first official report of gold discovery in the Beechworth area was by prospectors, Baker & Strickland, on 3 August 1852 about 100 metres from the Newtown Bridge along the Spring Creek. By September 1852 there were 45 people prospecting for gold; by November there were 1500 people on the diggings and by January 1853 8000 had arrived. Eventually more than 30,000 people flocked to the goldfield which expanded in every direction with each new find – the hills above Beechworth around Stanley, to the west following Reid’s Creek toward Chiltern and Rutherglen, known as the Indigo Goldfields, to the north to Wooragee and Yackandandah and beyond to Allans Flat and Sandy Creek.
The Indigo Gold Trail takes in some of the most picturesque countryside in Australia and includes scores of easily accessible sites.
Gold worth billions of dollars in today’s currency was extracted from the area once known as the Ovens and Indigo Goldfields. Initially lone diggers searching for alluvial gold used primitive tools such as pans, picks and cradles. As the years progressed more sophisticated technologies were developed including high pressure hydraulic sluicing, powerful explosives for hard rock mining, and much later the large barge and bucket dredges. The evolution of these gold mining technologies as well as their devastating environmental impact are integral to the Indigo Gold Trail story. Today, in and around Beechworth, Chiltern, Rutherglen and Yackandandah, and the villages and countryside in between, the legacy of the rush for gold remains - from the perfectly preserved streetscapes of the towns to the countless mine shafts and mullock heaps to astonishing water races carved through solid granite; from Chinese Burning Towers and pioneer graves to historic government buildings, schools and museums all dating from those early, heady days of the gold rush.
Each of the sites is marked on the large map in this brochure, and a brief description of each is listed by map reference in specific feature panels for Beechworth & district, Rutherglen, Chiltern, Yackandandah & district, Stanley, Upper Sandy Creek and El Dorado.
EARLY OVENS GOLDFIELDS SITES B1(Map Ref.): Spring Creek. Take the Rotary Walk through Wallace Park starting at Newtown Bridge or from the bridge at Albert Road to view the area of Beechworth’s first diggings along Spring Creek. C B F P (Map 3)
Each site’s accessibility by car, bicycle or on foot is shown as C, B and F. Sites suitable for picnics are also indicated with a P. A great range of accommodation to suit all pockets is available around the Indigo Gold Trail region so it’s easy to book a room at a hotel or B&B, a cottage or caravan or tent site and head off for a day - or two or seven - of gold discovery.
Newtown Bridge. This majestic granite keystone bridge, built by Scottish stonemasons in 1875, replaced an earlier bridge built further upstream across the once gold-rich Spring Creek. Chevalier’s Mill. A water-powered mill once stood at the head of the falls on Spring Creek. Built in 1855 it supplied the townspeople with flour and timber. Fletcher’s Tail Race. A channel 2.4m deep and 410m long, visible below Newtown Bridge, cut through solid granite over a two year period in the late 1860s enabling the area upstream to be sluiced for gold.
You can start or finish at any point along the way. You can stop for a picnic in a national park or next to a beautiful creek, lunch at a gourmet restaurant, or one of the area’s famous bakeries, grab a hand-crafted beer or a bottle of fine local wine. Our Visitor Information Centres in Beechworth, Chiltern, Yackandandah and Rutherglen can assist with all your accommodation and information needs as you embark on your own self-guided tour of this fascinating historic trail.

B10: Ovens Hospital Facade. Beechworth’s first hospital built in 1857 at a cost of £2,347. Most of the hospital was demolished in 1940 for salvageable materials during the World War 2, leaving the impressive granite facade and remnants of the once extensive and grand gardens. Church St. C B W (Map 3) B11: Beechworth Cemetery & Chinese Burning Towers. A lack of sanitation and primitive living conditions led to an early outbreak of typhoid. Among the earliest deaths was the first doctor to arrive to the diggings, Dr Henry Green. The first official cemetery was in Loch Street, used from 1853 to 1855. The 64 bodies buried there were later reburied in the pioneers section of the present day cemetery. Between 1853 and 1860 on average one child per week died of diseases like measles, scarlet fever, typhoid and dysentery. Some 1000 Chinese gold seekers and settlers are also buried here. The Chinese Burning Towers were used for burning paper prayers and meals for the dead. C B W (Map 3)
C1: Chiltern Athenaeum & Museum. Built in 1866 as the goldfields library, council chambers and town hall, the Athenaeum has an extensive collection of gold era equipment, written materials, photographs and gold samples as well as beautiful examples of A.W. Eustace’s gum leaf paintings of the Woolshed and Chiltern diggings. C B W (Map 5)
B12: Ovens Benevolent Asylum. Opened in August 1863 for miners requiring permanent care as a result of serious injuries from the diggings and other long-term incapacitating conditions. Warner Rd. C B W (Map 3)

Rutherglen
Yackandandah & beyond
R1: Gold Discovery Cairn. Gold was discovered near this site in September 1860 at the western end of the present township, initiallly known as the Wahgunyah Diggings, Calico Town and then Barkley - named after the then Governor of Victoria. Legend has it that the town was eventually named when John Wallace, owner of the Star Hotel, was told by a patron “Shout the bar and we’ll call the town Rutherglen after your birthplace!” C B F (Map 2) R2: The Wallace Cairn. Monument to John Wallace, Scottish entrepreneur, who made his fortune as a goldfields trader and later, mining magnate. (See R1 and Chiltern Valley Mines entry, C3, 4 & 5). C B F P (Map 2)
R4: Chinese Burning Towers, Carlyle Cemetery. There are 36 recorded Chinese burials in the cemetery some with existing footstones. The twin Chinese Burning towers, built in 1887, have a square rather than round design believed to be unique in Australia. C B (Map 2)
R6: Great Southern Mine. (Private property, no public access) The Great Southern mine was the greatest of the Rutherglen deep leads, supporting the Great Southern and the Great Southern No.1 mines. The Great Southern Mine was Victoria’s top alluvial gold producer from 1906 to 1912. A town of 4000 grew up around the mine, with its own pub and brewery, school and cricket pitch. At its peak it employed 400 men. Until its closure during WW1, the mine produced around 33 tons of gold. Attempts since then to extract gold from the mine have had varying success, and include tailings treatment by cyanide during the 1950s. The mine is still operational, now run by Rutherglen Mining company. C B (Map 2)
C9: Golden Bar Open Cut Mine. A small open-cut area is the remainder of the Golden Bar Mine which yielded 12,453 oz. between 1901 and 1910. W (Map 5)
Gold was discovered in Yackandandah in 1852 soon after the first discoveries at Reid’s and Spring Creeks (Beechworth). William Howitt, one of the first diggers on the scene, described finding gold ‘hanging in the roots of the shrubs that we pulled up’ from the creek. A tent town sprang up along the banks of the Yackandandah and Commissioner’s Creeks, one of several tent towns in the area, some of which continued beyond the life of the gold strikes, including Osborne’s Flat, Rowdy Flat and Allan’s Flat (see main map for this touring route), Whiskey Flat and Bell’s Flat. After the first wave of alluvial gold seekers, entrepreneurs such as Wallace and Fletcher arrived, installing sluicing barges employing men 24 hours a day in shifts. Later still, bucket dredges were used to mine to deeper levels along the creeks.

St3: Athenaeum (above). The Stanley Public Room was built by public subscription in 1856 and opened in 1857 at the height of the gold rush. The original wooden building was destroyed by fire in the late 1860's and the present brick building was built to replace it on the same site, opening in 1874. (Map 1)
Upper Sandy Creek
Y4: Yackandandah Gorge. This remarkable 100m gorge was built in 1858 to supply water to miners along the creek. It was cut through solid granite by pick and shovel. The Yackandandah Creek was diverted from its original course to run through the gorge. The original dam wall created to divert the creek can still be seen today. C B F P (Map 4) Y5: Osborne’s Flat, Y6: Rowdy Flat, Y7: Allan’s Flat – Tourist Drive (Map 1)
SC1: The Reservoir. Built in 1865, water was used for sluicing and quartz crushing. At the time, the valley supported a large population of miners including an estimated 1000 Chinese. Many lived in a camp across from the reservoir where they grew tobacco and vegetables. Today the reservoir is a sanctuary for birdlife. C B (Map 1)
El Dorado E1: The Cock’s Eldorado Dredge. One of only two complete bucket dredges left in the State and the largest, most intact gold dredge in Australia. Between 1936 and 1954 when it closed, it produced over 70,000 oz of gold and 1.4 tonnes of tin concentrates. It represents one of the final chapters in the gold story of the North East. C P (Map 1)

Y3: Yackandandah Cemetery (1885). Cemetery records tell the story of the hardship of the early pioneering years, including high infant mortality, outbreaks of typhoid and diphtheria. The cemetery was also used for Chinese burials. C B F (Map 4)
R3: Rutherglen State Battery, 1908-1994. One of six intact former State batteries situated in Victoria. Originally steam was used, then electric power to drive the five-head battery to recover gold. Official records from this plant show that 6549 tons were crushed for 5650 oz of gold. The Battery has been restored and opened for viewing as a key project of the 150th anniversary in 2010 of the discovery of gold in Rutherglen. C B F (Map 2)
R5: Great Northern Mine. In 1886, eight partners struck it rich on the long-abandoned Great Northern Lead. For seven years the mine yielded more than 30,000oz and dividends of £50,000. Their new mine, Great Northern Extended, proved even richer, producing 108,000 oz and almost £200,000 in dividends between 1888 and 1900. C B (Map 1)
C8: Indigo Pioneer Cemetery. The first death of the Indigo Goldfield on 4 November1858 was newborn Francis Nicholls, followed two days later by 34 year old miner, Joseph Turner. A total of 58 people are known to have been buried here. C B W (Map 5)

One of the last Victorian gold rushes, the Rutherglen diggings followed deep alluvial leads - extracting gold from wash dirt brought up from the ancient riverbeds deep underground. Rich quartz reefs were also discovered and quartz was carted by bullock dray to the crushing machines at Chiltern. By the end of 1860 17 deep leads and seven quartz reefs had been found. The scale of operations grew with the introduction of new technologies such as electric haulage and underground elevators were developed in response to the vast amounts of groundwater which needed to be pumped from the mines before the gold could be extracted from the wash dirt.
C7: State Battery Site. Concrete slabs are all that remain of the stamp battery operated by the State government until about 1940. To encourage gold mining, particularly during the Depression, new mines could have the first three tons of ore crushed by the five-head stamp battery at no cost. C B W (Map 5)
C2: Lake Anderson. Site of the former Alliance Mine. The sportsground grandstand was built on top of mining residue and there are mullock heaps next to the swimming pool. C B W P (Map 5)
B5: Lake Sambell. Site of the Rocky Mountain Company’s major open cut sluicing operation, yielding more than 1300kg in gold until operations ceased in the 1920s. A dam was created to conceal the devastated landscape with funds from Beechworth winning the Ideal Town competition in 1928. Today the lake is a popular spot for fishing, swimming and cycling. C B F P (Map 3)
B8: Historic & Cultural Precinct. Nationally significant collection of government buildings dating from the late 1850s. The Precinct includes the Town Hall & Gardens, Telegraph Station, Courthouse, Sub Treasury (Gold Office), the Chinese Protectorate Office, as well as the Burke Museum, with its important heritage collections dating back to the 1860s. Ford & Loch Streets. C B W P (Map 3)

Chiltern Mt Pilot National Park (See Parks Victoria notes for full details & maps) C6: Magenta Mine. Mining of the Magenta Reef (above) began in 1860 and continued until 1910. Tons of earth, rock and quartz were excavated and carted out by horse and dray, the gold-bearing quartz crushed at nearby stamp batteries. The mine yielded thousands of ounces of gold. In its heyday Magenta was a significant residential area and as late as 1907 there was an unbroken line of miners’ houses extending from the Magenta to Chiltern. C B W P (Map 5)

In 1858, John Conness, a veteran of the Ballarat, Bendigo and Beechworth rushes, registered a prospecting claim on the Indigo Lead near the present Chiltern-Howlong Road & Rileys Rd. Within months 20,000 miners of all nationalities including 2000 Chinese rushed to the area, creating virtually overnight the town of Indigo, equipped with stores, hotels, shops, shanties and dance halls built of slab, bark, calico and brush. In 1859 Conness’ Nil Desperandum Company discovered gold on the Chiltern Lead, near the present day football ground. This discovery led to the formation of the town of Chiltern. Within 12 months the old Indigo township was deserted as miners and businesses moved to the new town of Chiltern. Within a year the gold escort was carrying 1212 oz of gold. The entire site of Chiltern was once a goldfield. Today, 22 National Trust listed and three Trust-owned properties are included in the perfectly preserved Gold Era streetscape.
B9: The Powder Magazine. Built in 1859 of solid, buttressed granite, with a slate roof and surrounded by a high stone wall, it was used to store large amounts of gunpowder used in mining and quarrying. This rare building is an excellent example of its type and considered the finest in the State. Gorge Rd. C B W P (Map 3)
Chiltern Valley Mines C3: Chiltern Valley No. 1 & C4: Chiltern Valley No. 2 (Now Parks Victoria wetlands sites) C B P (Map 5) C5: Chiltern Valley No. 3 (Private property, no public access) C B (Map 5) The Chiltern Valley Gold Mining Co. was one of the most successful gold producers in the area, working the Chiltern Valley Lead along the present day Chiltern Valley Road until 1920. It was formed in 1876 by the Scottish entrepreneur John Wallace who made his fortune on the Victorian goldfields opening supplies stores and hotels in Bendigo, Bright, Stanley, Beechworth and Chiltern. He invested in small goldmining operations, later pursuing major interests in many deep lead companies across the Ovens and Indigo goldfields regions. Wallace introduced dredging to Yackandandah and the El Dorado diggings. The Chiltern Valley mines pioneered underground electric traction to haul the ore up the shaft, replacing the manual labour of pit ponies and men.
EARLY GOLDFIELDS SITES B4: Rocky Mountain Tunnel inlet. A remarkable engineering feat, the tunnel was cut through solid granite to reduce water levels in Spring Creek and to expose new areas for gold mining. It extends 1km under the township of Beechworth. View the tunnel entrance in the Chinese Gardens, Albert Road. C B F P (Map 3)
B7: Mad Man’s Gully monument. Monument to the first miners’ meeting held on 2 April 1853 – well before the Eureka uprising of December 1854 - at which 800 miners called for political representation. C B (Map 3)
B3: Woolshed Falls & the Gorge. Spectacular walks taking in many historic sites dotted throughout the Reid’s Creek goldfields within Beechworth Historic Park. The key sites include Fiddes Quarry, The Precipice and One Tree Hill. Walks and sites fully detailed in Parks Victoria Park Notes. Carpark at McFeeters Rd, off Chiltern Rd. B F P (Map 3)

B6: Lake Sambell to Lake Kerferd Walk. This 5km (one way) walk starts from the bridge over Spring Creek on Peach Drive, near Lake Sambell and follows Spring Creek and Hurdle Creek to Lake Kerferd. The first section leads to Silver Creek Caravan Park, passing through old mining sites where deep vertical shafts were dug, past Patterson Dam (established as a water supply for mining) linking up with a vehicle track built to service the water pipeline which links Lake Kerferd with Beechworth. Lake Kerferd was created in 1862 to retain the waters of Hurdle Swamp for gold mining activities. It is now Beechworth’s main water supply. F P (Map 3)
