Heritage Inventory History of Site:
Gold was got at Thowgla and Bullocky creeks, south of Corryong, by prospectors in 1861, but no rush ensued
until 1880, when discoveries at Zulu Creek renewed interest in the area. A population of over 200 miners worked
the creek in the summer of 1880-81. Small numbers of alluvial miners were still at Thowgla Creek in the mid- to
late 1880s, sluicing with pumps and wheels fed by water races. Working along the creek continued into the
twentieth century, with more diggers setting up shop during the 1890s depression and parties of hydraulic
sluicers still at work on Thowgla and Bullocky creeks in 1907.
