== An old gold mining area in the Kelly Country ==

== History at the Woolshed before the KellyGang ==
The Woolshed settlement was the up stream one of three settlements on Reedy Creek (the others were [[Devils Elbow|Devils Elbow]] and [[Sebastopol|Sebastopol]]). The '''Woolshed valley''' consisted of a number of creeks. Up stream there was '''Spring Creek''' which plunges into '''Reid's Creek''' and later becomes '''Reedy Creek'''.
The Woolshed was opened in 1853. Within two years, it was the richest and busiest locality on the field and was renowned throughout the colony of Victoria. The Woolshed township extended along the creek for 4 km, serving a mining population of thousands. By the mid-1860s, [[Chinese|Chinese]] miners predominated: working in large parties, they were able to profitably work ground that others had given up as worthless.
Both Aaron [[Aaron Sherritt|Sherritt]] and Joe [[Joe Byrne|Byrne]] went to the Woolshed school. '''James Doherty''' was the teacher
'''Where did the name [[Properties|Woolshed]] come from'''
There was a woolshed near the spot where gold was found in 1853. The place was first used by William Cropper of [[Laceby|Laceby]] to shear his sheep dip. Later his structure was used by the Reid Bros for shearing

'''The discovery of gold'''
Gold was first discovered on Spring and Reid Creeks in [[1824-1853 Events|1852]]. At the height of the gold rush there were about 4,000 people in the area. They lived in tents and bark huts on both sides of the '''Sunbury Bridge''' over the Reedy Creek. The settlements of [[Sebastopol|Sebastopol]], '''Lazzarino''', - , and - also had about 150 businesses that included 10 hotels, 17 restaurants, 2 breweries, blacksmiths, bakers, butchers, boot makers, several ginger beer and cordial factories and even a professor of music and many others. The real boom ended in about 1855. By 1871 the population had shrunk to about 700 residents. ([[Ian Jonesat KellyGang|I Jones]] Friendship) One of the great characters from those days was, the shanty keeper, '''Mother Morrell'''.
In the begining the rich aluvial gold made some people wealthy very quickly and the area has stories of parties with Chanpagne at £1 a bottle. Later they needed steam engines to keep out the water as they chased the deeper gold deposits. In that world of capital and miners on wages the workers had the name of 'Monkeys'. Perhaps because they wore white tie and tails at parties. (Tom Griffiths) See also ([[The Argus at KellyGang 8/2/1864|Argus8/2/64]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 15/8/1864 (3)|Argus15/8/64]])

The '''Woolshed valley''' consisted of a number of creeks. Up stream there was '''Spring Creek''' which plunges into '''Reid's Creek''' and later becomes '''Reedy Creek'''. London or Byrne's gully joins Reedy Creek
Lack of water was often a problem in the area ([[The Argus at KellyGang 12/3/1862|Argus12/3/62]])
== What was the Woolshed like in the late 1870's ==
By the 1870's the gold rush to the Woolshed valley had ended. The other settlements at '''Reids Creek''' and down stream at Devils Elow, [[Sebastopol|Sebastopol Flat]] and [[Sebastopol|The Napoleon]] had been rolled into the Woolshed. A few of the old timers were still around the district and the gold was being worked over again by the Chinese miners. See also ([[The Argus at KellyGang 8/2/1864|Argus8/2/64]])
There was [[Post Office|postal]] route between [[Beechworth|Beechworth]] and [[Tarawingi|Tarawingee]] Station via Reid's Creek, Woolshed, Reidford, and [[EI Dorado|Eldorado]]
Murder at the Woolshed. Inquest held at the '''Shamrock Hotel''' ([[The Argus at KellyGang 7/5/1874|Argus7/5/74]])
== Links to the KellyGang ==
Joe [[Joe Byrne|Byrne]] and Aaron [[Aaron Sherritt|Sherritt]] attended [[Donoghue|O'Donoghue]]'s Catholic School at the Woolshed. Aaron [[Aaron Sherritt|Sherritt]] was a fellow student.
Anton [[Anton Weekes|Wicks]] and his family lived near the Woolshed school
In January [[1874-1877 Events|1877]] Joe [[Joe Byrne|Byrne]] was charged over an incident when he was swimming in the Woolshed dam.
The KellyGang moved horses and cattle from Victoria and New South Wales through the area of the Woolshed ([[Cookson, 05_09_1911_3|BWC]])
On the 29th August [[17/4-4/10/78 Events|1878]], Det [[Ward|Ward]] reported about a citing of [[Ned Kelly|Ned Kelly]] by a Woolshed blacksmith about 3 weeks earlier. This is what the report said.
"I have the honor to report, for the information of the officer in charge, I have received information that the above-named offender, Edward Kelly, was seen about three weeks ago between the Woolshed and [[Sebastopol|Sebastopol]], in the Ovens district, by a Mr.-, a blacksmith at the Woolshed; he was riding and carried a gun under his arm, and had a revolver strapped on his saddle. Kelly is well known to -. If Kelly was seen there, he would be most likely making for Joe Byrne's [[Mrs Margaret Byrne|mother's]] place, as she lives at the Sebast14-sep-11forwarded to Mr. Inspector [[Brooke Smith|Smith]] for careful enquiries. Mr. - is a very respectable man, and will give every information to the police, providing it is kept secret. The person who makes the enquiry would do well to call on of the Woolshed before calling on -, as he may be able to give some information on the subject, has a good many cattle running on the common, between the Woolshed and Sebastopol, and if it was known by [[Joe Byrne|Byrne]] or [[Aaron Sherritt|Sherritt]] that he would give any information relative to Kelly's whereabouts, his cattle would not be safe." ([[Royal Commission report day 14 page 6|RC3109]])
Aaron Sherritt told the police that he had recieved a threatening letter from a man, Jack Fox, who was a particular friend of Joe [[Joe Byrne|Byrne]]. He received a sentence of nine months, some six years ago, for stealing a horse from Mr. '''Kennedy''', of the Woolshed. ([[Royal Commission report day 42 page 12|RC14791]])
Aaron Sherritt's selection was 107 acres on the Woolshed Creek ([[The Argus at KellyGang 8/7/1880 (3)|Argus8/7/80]])
The Royal Commission concluded that the '''[[KellyGang|KellyGang]]''' had camp sites in the area of the Woolshed that they used from time to time ([[Royal Commission second Report Part X ( page 13)|RC2ndreportStoryX]])
Aaron [[Aaron Sherritt|Sherritt]] and his family went to the Hurdy Gurdy at the Woolshed on the night in January [[events 1880-1/ 1880-3|1880]] when a saddle was stolen. Likely that Joe [[Joe Byrne|Byrne]] was also present
At the start of Ned Kellys committal there was a large gathering of sympathisers at the Woolshed ([[The Age (30)|Age6/8/1880]])
