Our first attempt to find the Batavia gold field failed. We were on the right track but "Clifford" is too tall to fit under a tree branch. I came back later on my push bike.

Flat bed truck

The flat bed truck had dual rear wheels but I couldn't figure out what this diff arrangement was all about. If there are any technically minded people reading this post who know what is going on please let me know.

I am not sure what this piece of machinery is but it could be an early prototype for a power station coal mill. 🙂

Can only assume this is a stationary boiler and associated stationary steam engine. No indication what it was used to drive.

Just as all this machinery is just lying around in the bush waiting to be discovered so is this abandoned mine shaft.
