Wombat Mine and the associated diggings commenced here just at the time when Cock’s Pioneer Sluicing closed in 1929 and the world depression was developing. The Wombat Mine sustained El Dorado when it most needed a mining income for survival.
Jack Jordan (Senior) held a smelting licence which was not easily granted. This enabled the mine to produce gold ingots and delivered them regularly to the bank. It was easy to work the mine as it had a shallow underground operation, no water problem or drifts and loose wash dirt. After three to four years the lead was worked out.
Wombat Mine as pictured was but one of an extensive area of diggings that stretched over almost a kilometer, the northern most point being almost at Mulls' homestead.
There is a lot to look at out here including mining relics scattererd across the landscape - almost as many as there are mines.
Access via Mulls Track is not suitable for low clearance vehicles.
You are looking for a 30cal ammo can that contains a log book, writing implements and a few swaps.
Note: It is NOT in a mineshaft.
