A Silver-Lead mine located about 4.5 km SW of Callington.
This mine has a very interesting history, from its discovery in 1859 to tales of fortune, failure, deceit and mystery. A book titled ‘Silver and a Trace of Gold’ by J.K. Chilman is very much worth reading, as it outlines not only the history of this mine, but mining in general during the late 1880’s in South Australia. The book is available at PIRSA head office in Adelaide.
