Once a busy mining landscape, today the Black Hole has returned to wilderness. During Victoria’s golden era the locality was dotted with dozens of mining camps, huts, machinery sites and alluvial workings, all threaded together with a web of pack tracks. The Black Hole would have been a remarkable place to visit one hundred years ago.
Today the upper reaches of this valley are inaccessible, skirted only by the Great Alpine Road and the Bon Accord Walking Track. Scattered throughout these hills lie many dozens of historically important archaeological sites that one day may provide us with a greater insight into the pioneering individuals of this region.
"a re-filming of an earlier documentary. Peter McDuff is alway worth a revisit!"
