Robyn I was going to suggest that you contact David Bannear, archaeologist, at Heritage Victoria. Their phone number is (03) 9655 6519. I see that he carried out the assessment listed in Rick White's email.

Not that I'm any sort of an expert, but the only mine with a black anything in its name that I'm aware of in E. Gipps is the old Black Snake copper mine near Tubbut - at one stage owned and operated by two brothers (whose surname escapes me for the moment!) who ran what was for some time the largest commercial fishing trawler out of Lakes Entrance. This was back in the late 1950s/early 1960s. the older of the tworobbos
My husband drove truck loads of copper ore out of the mine at Tubbut Tubbut in 1959/60. A hair raising event from time to time as the roads were so very narrow.
