MELBOURNE ROAD CHINESE CAMP

Chinese miners were the second largest mining community on central Victoria goldfields. Many left Victorian Goldfields for rushes elsewhere. Those that stayed continued to mine for alluvial gold and became market gardeners. One of the last Chinese market gardeners in Victoria was Georgie Ah Ling at Donald. (VHR site H0873).
Given the paucity of historical information on Chinese mining, an occupation site like this, despite ground disturbance, possess considerable archaeological potential.
