An area with a rich mining history with a number of tin and tungsten mines dotted about the local Storeys Creek and Rossarden region. The history of the local mines are well recorded with stories of riches and bust, triumph and tragedy.

The vague, overgrown rock pile out behind the long fallen chimney - a favoured pet, a child lost to fever, or just an insignificant pile of stones.
Stories lost to time, never recorded, never told...
