Waypoint 1 - A Tribute to John Alston Wallace
Entrepreneur, Star Hotel Owner, Miner, Politician.
Where else in the world could you name a town for the cost of a few beers?
Over a few drinks, one John Wallace was told “Shout the whole bar and you can call this town whatever you like!”.
And so he did, calling the new goldfields township Rutherglen after his native home town in Scotland.
The Cairn was unveiled at a 'Back to Rutherglen' in 1939.
There are six lines on the plaque. The clues are in line, word, letter.

Waypoint 2 - The Star Hotel
This is the site where John A Wallace established the first Star Hotel in 1860. He purchased The Eagle Hotel which was situated on the New Ballarat diggings for £450 and had it transported to Rutherglen. In 1902 this timber hotel burnt down and was replaced by the present building, erected in the Edwardian style.

Final - The Great Northern Mine
The gold rush was over but people and companies refused to give up. In the mid-1880s the Great Northern Mine was sold by its owners, who had given up after finding nothing to a depth of 216 feet (65 metres). The new owners, after digging a mere six feet (2 metres) further, found a lead which was a metre thick and 15 metres wide. This became one of the state's richest mines, producing 107,000 ounces of gold.
