Abandoned Gold fields, Castlemaine, Victoria

 


Castlemaine is now a hub for the alternative and the yabbies. The town is surrounded by abandoned goldfield equipment leaving them to rust and decay.

  1. It's amazing the equipment was just left behind, I guess they felt they could and no one cared about it or stopped them.

    1. I believe the area is protected like a heritage listed zone too. But there is no security in the whole fields whatsoever

  2. It is sad to see equipment left behind, make it could be broken apart and recycled. Have a great weekend.

  3. How sad, when you think of all the good things this space could be used for! Like a skateboard park for the kids.

    1. There are probably a lot of mineshafts in the area though

  4. I'm enjoying the mood, the feelings you evoke in the look of your pictures.

  5. Creo que se deberían haber reciclado en lugar de haber dejado así. Eso pasa en todos lugares.

    Saludos.
