Black Flat Circuit Trail - Warrandyte SP

These pix were taken on March 21, 2013, in the Warrandyte State Park.

They show the scenery and environment along the 3 km Black Flat Circuit Trail, passing the heritage Mullens Orchard site, the Yarra River, and the alluvial diggings area.

Black Flat Goldfields, Warrandyte State Park

These pictures were taken on Friday July 30, 2010, in the Black Flat historical goldmining precinct, Warrandyte State Park, 20 km east of Central Melbourne.

Gold was found at Black Flat in 1878, and the Caledonia Mine operated from 1904 until 1912.

My exploration was about 3 km, following Black Flat Track, which passed the alluvial diggings of the 1880s.

See all of the Photos of my exploration, which include images of some of the old excavations - most of the shafts have been capped with steel grates for safety reasons.
