I took my Dad out for a day of exploring, and we ended up driving up by Hedley Creek to try to locate this site (I think this is the site?)

We turned up off the creek and ran into a large tree blocking the road. As we had no chainsaw, we parked and hiked up the road a ways. We found what seems to be the foundations from an old processing operation and/or stamp mill, and tons of waste, junk old tin cans, etc.
We didn't hike any further up the hill to the minesite itself, but will return at a later date with a chainsaw, just in case the tree has not bee removed yet.
My Dad is originally from "the old country, (Italy) and was very surprised to see this sort of history here in our local area. He is used to seeing old ruins, castles, etc back in Italy but never really knew what existed out our back door. I'll certainly be taking him back for more "exploration".
