G'day, thanks for another amazing history lesson they are a fascinating, so many great stories about Australia's Golden age, you will never run out of subject matter, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.

Another great explanation of a mining company’s lithograph. Thanks for the effort you put in Michelle. Very interesting and informative 😁👍

I’m loving this, thanks so much for putting in the effort to make these videos. I had a low key KZread channel and I know the effort involved in production. 👍🏼

Thank you for your efforts preserving Australian history, and explaining the details of these interesting early Gold Mines.

i love to see more original photos from the underground rail and shaft systems

My house sits on top of the Sebastopol lead which was the longest lead as it followed the ancient watercourse of the Yarrowie River the longest river in the Ballarat area. Ballarat held the world record for a time in the largest solid gold nugget ever found-the Welcome nugget at 0ver 2000 ounces of pure gold. The miner who found it imbedded in the roof of a tunnel, fainted. Other miners were pulled out unconscious. Kitty's lead just South of here produced many more large nuggets than any other places mentioned in the Red Nugget Book from 6 inches depth to 6 feet. They say the Bendigo mines produced 60 tonnes of gold and due to the groundwater has still as much left there.

I visited Carisbrook for the first time last weekend. My father will be retiring there, so I imagine I'll be exploring a fair bit over the years. Drove past the Maldon dredge, but didn't have time to stop.

Great work with the upload mate. I always enjoy your work .

Always enjoy your work 👍

Thank you 🙂

Great story which could be expanded considerably. I see Peter Lalor on the shareholders list assuming it is THE Peter Lalor. I am a Ballarat resident and worked at the currently operating gold mine until i retired, so I find this stuff hugely interesting. Thanks for doing the research and publishing it for us.

Thanks Rob 🙂⚒

Thank you Michele, for yet another great video. I recently read about the Lambing Flat gold area at Young NSW. The report said it was abandoned due to running ground. So one wonders if the miners had tried the Ballarat system of treating the wash with shafts at two levels and draining the shafts below the levels? Thanks again.

Great video

I would love to know were I could look at the board of shareholders To see for myself

Grouse history lesson again. ❤it 😊
