Abandoned Gold Mining Equipment in Forest Creek, Castlemaine

 


After seeing some blogger friends posting on mining equipment, I took quite a few abandoned in the wilderness in Loddon Region of Victoria.

Seriously, this shall be protected in a shelter of some sort instead of being left out in the wilderness.

    1. I have been documenting abandoned gold mining era sites in the last few years. Dangerous at times since there are many hidden traps and mine shafts in these areas

  3. I agree with you, it would be nice having a historical piece of the mining industry to inform and teach people about mining in the old days.

    1. It is just too costly to run that sort of education and services in this day and age.

  4. Una pieza que como nos comentas debería estar conservada en mejores condiciones, pero los humanos somos así dejamos todo en cualquier sitio.

  5. Interesting in thought as to why some old 'gear' is left in the paddocks and other old 'gear' is put in a museum.

    1. I had to soften the noise from the ultra-wide angle lens I have. So noisy that I cannot see the details
