You are at a site of historic significance, and unless you cast your eyes up the hill, you could walk on by. So venture up here and be amazed at the extent of diggings and sluices still visible, testament to those early fortune hunters seeking prosperity and the lure of those magic 79 nuggets or seams below the surface. Old maps label the area as "Mining Terraces" which likely sums up what you see. Research is not easy, but given the Chinese village is within cooee just over the Ovens River, it is most likely that what you see are evidence of diggings and walls built by Chinese diggers of the 1860's and 70's. At this point above the river, it is clear from the layers of river rocks, that in geological time, the river was significantly higher. From the gate, there is a faint footpad heading up. Note, that like gold fossicking, a beeline to GZ may not be fortuitous. If you think this is hard, imagine life on these goldfields in the 1860's during winter.
