Geocache Description:


Here you will notice a stone plaque indicating where the Jerusalem & Lawrence School was situated. South-west of this point is the site of the mining township of Jerusalem. Looking north-east is where the mining town of Dibden once stood. There is an interesting story behind the development of mining towns such as these. They were due to a man named Dibden. He could be likened to the A. V. Jennings of contemporary times. Dibden would purchase land within close vicinity of these deep lead mines and build small townships of cheap miners' residences. All the houses consisted of four rooms and one chimney, close together in rows, with only one "dunny" servicing two houss, unpainted boards, little if any fencing and unmade roads. The cottages were later sold for 5 to 10 pounds each and removed from the area. (Source - The Buried Rivers of Gold Heritage Trail Creswick).
