A line of mine tailing and abandoned mining relics associated with the former Union Mine occur on the margins of the lava flow. ...Mt Greenock is an extinct volcano with lava flows associated with a deep lead. It is a tall scoria cone with a broad shallow crater open to the northwest. In the crater are blocks and bombs of scoriaceous basalt. Long lava flows extend both north and south from the cone. It is considered a significant geological site, and part of the Major Mitchell Trail, with a 1936 ‘Centenary of Major Mitchell ‘monument on the summit. The flow to the north has been eroded by McCallum Creek which is a lateral stream. On the eastern base of the cone, the stream valley exposes a lava flow and underlying sedimentary rocks. The lava flow and the scoria cone overlie the Greenock lead (a buried valley with auriferous gravels). A line of mine tailing and abandoned mining relics associated with the former Union Mine occur on the margins of the lava flow. Mount Greenock is a 120 hectare ‘Geological Reserve’, is one of the few large scoria cones on public land and contains abundant outcrop and morphological evidence of its volcanic origin. Colour Photographs of Mt Greenock, near Talbot, Victoria. The photographs were taken in winter not long after the first post drought rains. Mt Greenock was climbed by Major Thomas Mitchell on 26 September 1936, and he gave it the current name. At that time the mount was part of Alexander McCallum's Dunach Forest Pastoral Run.mt greenock, mount greenock, mining, mullock heap, mt greenock geological reserve, union mine, volcanic grasslands, dunach -

A line of mine tailing and abandoned mining relics associated with the former Union Mine occur on the margins of the lava flow. ...Mt Greenock is an extinct volcano with lava flows associated with a deep lead. It is a tall scoria cone with a broad shallow crater open to the northwest. In the crater are blocks and bombs of scoriaceous basalt. Long lava flows extend both north and south from the cone. It is considered a significant geological site, and part of the Major Mitchell Trail, with a 1936 ‘Centenary of Major Mitchell ‘monument on the summit. The flow to the north has been eroded by McCallum Creek which is a lateral stream. On the eastern base of the cone, the stream valley exposes a lava flow and underlying sedimentary rocks. The lava flow and the scoria cone overlie the Greenock lead (a buried valley with auriferous gravels). A line of mine tailing and abandoned mining relics associated with the former Union Mine occur on the margins of the lava flow. Mount Greenock is a 120 hectare ‘Geological Reserve’, is one of the few large scoria cones on public land and contains abundant outcrop and morphological evidence of its volcanic origin.

During the mine's operation, the main shaft was sunk 670 metres, and retrieved over 2500KG of gold. The Central Red White and Blue Gold Mine was located on the corner of Chum St and Honeysuckle St in Golden Square. Extract from Whitelaw Report: Central Red White and Blue Mine, Bendigo. Author: H E Whitelaw Share Abstract Early in 1910, some considerable time after it had become generally known that a rich reef at a depth of 405 ft was being worked southward from the privately owned Lansell's Little 180 shaft and immediately following the plotting of the Geological Survey pitch diagram of the Sheepshead line of reefs, some wide awake local mining men seized the opportunity to secure the holding known as Eadie's which, overlapping Lansell's lease and containing a stretch of the Sheepshead reef channel between the Little 180 north and south shafts, had been declared void some five years previously. That the Lansell Estate did not acquire this property on its becoming available is puzzling in the light of the fact that in Eadie's day the late Mr G W Lansell, on discovering auriferous spurs in the south shaft (now the Central Blue) had offered 2,000 pounds for, and a percentage of gold won from the lease. https://search.informit.org/doi/10.3316/aesis.200105326 Draftsman's drawing of Central Red, White and Blue Mine Map.
