2300 c1888 Mine location

The exact location of the mine is unknown but it may have been on the lower Bannockburn Creek, approx 1.6 km from the Kawarau River, approx 0.6 km upstream of the confluence with Shepherds Creek, on the true left bank.This area now forms part of the Bannockburn picnic area. An unidentified square 'mine shaft' 3m x 3m along with local subsidence is visible among the trees on the northern side, about 130m from the Cairnmuir Road entrance to the picnic area.

2301 c1888 General note.

It appears that Mr H C Parcell took up a coal lease but could not do too much work on the mine, on account of water entering the workings.
