History of the Property Our 100-acre property was part of the Wellington Goldfields located in the Pyramul Creek Reserve owned by the Commonwealth proclaimed back in the 17th of March 1884. It was first surveyed 18th of February 1911 and was sold by the Crown around that time to Henry Keightley believed to be the son of the district’s gold commissioner in the late 1800’s. He also purchased neighbouring properties at that time too. Maybe he knew something about the area that most didn’t for his reason to purchase the land. At the west boundary along the fence line, there are the old mullock heaps and tailings visible from where the old-timers were fossicking for gold. The area is about 5 acres where the diggings are quite visible still along the seasonal creek beds. These creeks only run after a fair amount of rain but they are still only trickle fed from the mountain named Tindalls Ridge. They may have been ancient river beds with the presence of river worn rocks that have been piled along the creek banks. There has been evidence found as to where people may have stayed and fossicked.
