Hi Woody nice post. I know of many abandoned mining towns, however I've never heard of this one. The history of Australia fascinates me, so thank you for sharing. I enjoyed the photos, as I'm sure so many others have. All the best for 2018....regards Kisha

Travelled about km down the road while making up our minds.Went back and glad we did.
Will go back and camp there when back in the area.
