The work of stacking tailing dumps associated with major mine sites was a particular feature of the Bendigo field. The tailings had to be stacked for placement as they washed out of the batteries. It was undertaken exclusively by groups of Chinese workers, who paid the mining companies to stack the tailings with the hope of finding traces of gold.

The tailings were progressively planted with spiny rushes, pampas grass and peppercorn trees."On the tail end" written by James A. Lerk.
