There are mines all over this area and I doubt I have found all of them as
there is enough here for several days adventures. This is the main mine
site and is a must see. There are a few more to add to the map that I have
found as well as the start of Fletchers' track. This track leads down
Danjera Creek to
Diggers Flat
and
below Fletchers' Spur.
The four wheel drive track that Fletchers' track comes off goes up the
spur to just below the cliffs, it exists more as erosion now than as a
real track. It used to then go along under the cliffs up the creek - I
think it was a forestry track. It is now completely overgrown and
unpassable.

The grey parts of the maps are segments of the NSW Lands Dept. map
for Yalwal. The map reference explains the exact location of the map
fragment - "8928-2S YALWAL" is the name of the Lands Dept. map used and
the other number is the grid reference, as explained on all Lands
Dept. maps.
