Nine walkers met at the Maldon Historical Park- site of the formerly
prosperous North British Mine and the associated engineering works. The
quartz kilns and other masonry foundations remain from the gold mining
era.
The walk up Mt Tarrengower afforded us spectacular views of the district.
The tower at the top, a recycled poppet head, has been in place for 100 years and has a modern use as a fire spotting site.
The walk down took us past the Anzac memorial plantings and some of the older parts of the township.
Then to Maldon for additional refreshments followed by travel to our accommodation in Bendigo.
