Statement of Significance

[Apollo Hill Mine & Alluvial Workings] The site has the potential to educate and illustrate important aspects of mining on Bendigo because it displays a sequence of activities over time: small-scale quartz mining and later sluicing (criterion C) and is one of a very small number of sites on Bendigo which contains an open adit (criterion B). It was one of a number of sites in the study area worked in the 1880s with money provided from the prospecting vote (criterion A).

[Splitter's Gully Alluvial Workings] The site has potential for education and interpretation due to the relatively undisturbed nature of the puddling site (criterion C and criterion D).
