Wattle Gully Gold Mine was at Chewton. A footwall in mining is the underlying rock mass beneath an inclined fault, vein, or mineral deposit. It is named because miners typically walk on this lower surface while the hanging wall lies above them. In mining operations, it serves as a crucial, stable reference point, often housing underground drives and shafts. Transverse section showing W.W. Gully and Phillips Reef. Seperate transverse diagrams of north and south of xcut. Additions by W.
