THE MINING HERITAGE OF THE AUSTRALIAN ALPS<br />

In <strong>the</strong> heart <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> high country, & cloaked by regrowing forest in <strong>the</strong><br />

rugged ranges <strong>of</strong> south eastern Australia, <strong>the</strong>se places bear mute witness to<br />

<strong>the</strong> most powerful European cultural influence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> mid 1800’s to early<br />

1900’s, and a pioneering way <strong>of</strong> life now long gone……….<br />
