In 1855, four years after gold was first discovered in Ballarat, Edward Hill struck it lucky at nearby Golden Point. By the end of that year, the goldmining village of Blackwood, 85 km north-west of Melbourne, had 13 000 prospectors panning the creeks and sluicing the river banks and hillsides. While there is little or no remaining gold, some of the rich quartz-reefs, initially discovered by James Simmons to the west of the town, are still being mined... | GordonVictoria.com

He named it Greendale as it was “ … a beautiful hollow bounded by green hills with Dales Creek in the centre”. Dales Creek had earlier been named after Mr H. F. Dale, a manager of Glen Pedder... | Korweinguboora.com
