Garfield Water Wheel Base, one mile form Chewton, comprises the stone base of the water wheel, all that is now left of the 72 feet in diameter wheel erected in 1887 for the Madame Garfield Gold Mining Co. The wheel was removed in 1904. Believed to have been constructed in timber, the wheel had 22 Buckets and was "overshot" in arrangement, being supplied by an enormous, elevated timber mill-race and water from the Expedition Pass Reservoir.
