MOUNT MISERY DIGGINGS CHINESE CAMP SITE

Archaeological elements include terraces, fireplaces, remnant market gardens and other typical settlement features. This place contains a shop, possible pig oven and rectangular tank, as well as pits and water races. The Mt Misery Chinese Diggings have remained relatively undisturbed. 

The Mt Misery Creek Chinese Camp is of historical significance as an example of a relatively intact Chinese camp in the region with occupation ranging from the initial discovery of gold until the twentieth century. The camp is of social and archaeological importance to its potential to reveal information about the daily lives of Chinese miners and other information relating to these communities.
