As far as is known, the first sinking of a proper shaft was in 1853. With the advent of machinery and crushing plants, attention turned to the vast treasures of the main reef. Bendigo gold mines produced the staggering record figure of 947 tons of gold from 1851 until 1954. Hundreds of mining companies were listed, but many of these failed, were absorbed by their larger neighbours, or covered over by the mulloch heaps of more payable mines.

It has 17 separate levels and 15 kilometres of drives and cross cuts (tunnels). The Central Deborah was very much a hands-on mine and the conditions that the miners worked in would be considered shocking by today's standards – being lowered underground in a cage with only two sides, often working ankle to knee deep in water, filling up to 32 ore trucks a shift by hand which were then pushed a mile or more along rails in the drives, working by carbide lamp, breathing in the fumes and rock dust and communication by bells. However, at the time working conditions were considered to be among the best on the goldfields at Central Deborah, after all it was one of the only mines that had hot showers. Following Central Deborah Gold Mine's closure, the Bendigo skyline began to noticeably change. Obvious remnants of mining such as poppet heads, engine rooms, service quarters, battery houses and chimneys were steadily disappearing. After intense lobbying by the local community, the Bendigo City Council purchased the still very much intact Central Deborah Gold Mine in 1970 for a mere $6,000 to ensure that a vital link to Bendigo's historic golden past was maintained. https://www.central-deborah.com/about-us/central-deborah-gold-mine-s-history Black and white photo of miner Ray Beer, wearing hard hat and mining lamp, checking mine roof at Central Deborah Gold Mine, Bendigo.mining, central deborah gold mine, ray beer -

... These explosives were used initially in the gold mines in Bendigo and Ballarat and then for ammunition in the World Wars. ...These explosives were used initially in the gold mines in Bendigo and Ballarat and then for ammunition in the World Wars. ...Deer Park is named after a park for deer, established by the Melbourne Hunt Club in the late 1800s. The area was initially a rural district with large pastoral estates but its location on Kororoit Creek plus its relative isolation from Melbourne, meant it was ideal for the establishment of Melbourne's first explosives factory in the 1870s. These explosives were used initially in the gold mines in Bendigo and Ballarat and then for ammunition in the World Wars.

The mine was one of a minority that continued to function during the Second World War. In 1939 the mine boasted a small timber poppet head, boiler steam winch, compressor, blacksmith shop, store, change rooms, and offices. Between 1945-46 the company upgraded the mine with extensions to sheds and the installation of new steam machinery, electric air compressor, steel poppet head, and ore bins. The Central Deborah Gold Mine is historically significant for its ability to demonstrate the tangible and important links to twentieth century quartz mining. It is of outstanding historical significance as the last intact and working example of the 5,500 quartz mines that won Bendigo widespread fame as a gold mining centre. At one time Bendigo had the world’s deepest shafts. Of particular importance are original buildings, fittings and mining machinery that document the mine’s character from 1939 to 1954. (Criterion A) The Central Deborah Gold Mine is archaeologically significant for its ability and potential to illustrate important aspects of early twentieth century mining. The physical evidence at the site has excellent interpretative value and the ability to answer archaeological research questions. (Criterion C) The Central Deborah Gold Mine is significant as a notable and fine example of the class of twentieth century quartz mine. The working machinery—including a Cornish boiler, winding engine and two compressors—comprise one of the few publicly accessible and in situ collections in the State. Central Deborah Company Gold Mine is now a popular tourist mine and a living part of the story of gold mining in Australia. Its historic mining equipment is still functional, and several levels underground are accessible to visitors.
