Features

In the bush just outside Maryborough, Victoria stands the stone fireplace of an old miners hut. There are several mine shafts up behind the ruins which head off in a line, and gold diggings all around.

The ruins are located just off White Horse Track along an unnamed road. From Majorca Road, take White Horse Track a short way into the bush and then turn left at the first turn-off. The ruins are just up ahead, right alongside this track.
