I think you'll find Kimberley is now known as Tanwood. GPS Longitude 143.39° & Latitude 37.01° -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Phil Waring Sent: Sunday, 24 August 2008 6:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Goldmining village Kimberley, Pyrenees Hi, Could anyone please direct me to where I could find a map which shows the location of the small settlement of Kimberley in the Pyrenees near Avoca, Vic in the early 1870s. It was never gazetted as a town or village, so doesn't appear on parish plans (Warrenmang or Yehrip). Flett's book "History of Gold Discovery in Victoria" (p456) mentions "a small village called Kimberley", with a reference to Mining Registrar's Reports, Sept 1871, Special Report, Plan. Unfortunately, I've looked at the bound volume of these reports for 1869-71 in the State Library Vic, and there is no such plan included.! Can anyone make any suggestions please, particularly re Kimberley, but also generally. There are also several other transient gold mining rush towns in the area which were never gazetted as towns or villages, eg Donkey Hill, Glendhu, Number Two Creek. I know roughly where these settlements would have been, but am seeking more precise information.
