WHITE HILLS MINING AREA

Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The site is significant as one of the key shallow alluvial mining localities for the Creswick Goldfield. Hydraulic sluicing, the third period on mining on the hill, removed most of the evidence the earlier two mining periods. What survives in form that has interpretation value is the adit and the small section of sluicing on the eastern side, above the adit.
