Rocky Point (from Hamlets in the Hills by William John Musk) Rocky Point was situated a couple of miles down the creek from Hurdle Flat towards Yackandandah Junction. In the early Mining Claims Registers held at Beechworth, there is much evidence of extensive mining in the Rocky Point District. In 1876 several Chines miers - Ah Cheong, Ah Wah, Ah Mun, and Ah Coon were working mining claims at Rocky Point. The Rocky Point Mine was worked over many years, but inFebruary, 1914, a bush fire burning in the area caught fire to the timbered lining in the shaft of the Mine, and completely burnt them out. The Rocky Point was not worked again. Mr and Mrs Palmer Jenkins and their family were long time residents of Rocky Point. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anthony Bigelow" <anthonybigelow@hotmail.com> To: <AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 12, 2004 6:29 PM Subject: RE: [HC] Anthony - Musk Booklet > Hi Ronda, > > Fantastic, thanks for letting me know Ronda.
