This little dam is a pretty spot during the early spring when it's full of water and bordered by wattle trees and wildflowers. It is located in the bush between Maryborough and Daisy Hill.
To the right of the dam, when looking on from the M110 Track, you will find the remains of a gold puddling machine.
Gold puddlers are significant relics from the Victorian gold rush -
gold prospecting is allowed in this area, however it is important that you do not disturb the puddler itself as it is a historical feature which must be preserved.
