[1/1] Wilson's Hill Mines & Cyanide

Statement of Significance

The site is associated with the discovery of gold in the Marong area in 1867 and also with the small-scale re-treatment oftailings by the cyanide process, representing the last phase of mining on Wilson's Hill (criterion A). The site is representative of the smaller cyaniding sites in the study area (criterion D) and has the potential for education and interpretation about this and earlier phases of mining in the area as part of Wilson's Hill Bushland Reserve (criterion C).
