Statement of Significance

The Jerejaw Reef Mine dates from the 1860s to 1880s and the remaining features include mullock heaps, shafts and a rare surviving whim platform, although it is in poor condition. The Jerejaw Reef Mine Site is historically and scientifically important at a LOCAL level as a substantially intact example of an important gold mining technique. Gold mining sites are of crucial importance for the pivotal role they have played since 1851 in the development of Victoria.
