The Flora Reef Co crushed 200 tons for a return of 25 oz in 1866, a grade suggestive of open cut operations.' The mine was re-opened in 1921, at which time Whitelaw wrote a report. An extract from Whitelaw's report (24th March, 1921) is included in the report. gold mining, bendigo, flora hill mine, south flora reef gold mining company, bendigo mining n.l. -
