While gold was discovered in 1860 no rush ensued until 1880, when discoveries at Zulu Creek renewed interest in the area. A population of over 200 miners worked the creek in the summer of 1880-81.

The [[Chinese|Chineese]] were very prolific [[Gold mining (2)|gold]] miners in the area carrying corrugated iron for there sluce mining operations many miles into the bush to form aquaducts and cannals.
