Hi Judith, There is a book by Thomas A. McClelland called Mines, Shafts and Reefs: An insight into the Bowling Alley Point, Hanging Rock and Nundle Goldfields (1st ed. May 1997). It has a cover photo of a mine, courtesy of Henry Couley, Woodley Family. Tom's address, as given on the title page, is: Thomas A. McClelland, "Macrosing", Barry Road, Hanging Rock 2340. Phone/Fax 02-67 693673 Could be worth contacting him - he has written a number of books, and may have more photos up his sleeve. (But permission needs to be obtained before reproducing his work). My g-grandfather John Albertson and his brother William were also gold-diggers at Nundle. They appeared in a case at Maitland Quarter Sessions on 12 August 1858 in a case in which a former member of their team, Henry Dolt, was indicted for stealing 20 ozs of gold and 20 ozs of quartz from Henry Hyman and others. (They lost). Cheers, Lesley (Melbourne) Judith Neville wrote: > > Hi listers, > > Does any one know of a site for photos of the above areas about > 1870 ish please?
