Document - LONG GULLY HISTORY GROUP COLLECTION: HAPPY VALLEY ROAD

Physical description

Titled Happy Valley Road. Describes surface workings on Victoria Hill and the different colours of the rocks, the formation of the anticlines and the synclines which are roughly parallel and run approximately north and south. They are all named and make the lines on the Bendigo Goldfield. Adjacent to Victoria Hill is the Central Nell Gwynne Mine which is on the Nell Gwynne anticline. There were quaint houses and shops in Happy Valley Road, although the shops are no longer used as such. On the right are two sketches, one an old house and below it is Heinz Butcher's Shop.
