Title
Sluice Hole, Irishtown, Castlemaine Diggings National Heritage Park
Description

This is an example of ground sluicing near Irishtown where the whole hillside has been sluiced away, leaving an open pit ringed with the picked up stones. All the dirt has gone. The sluice boxes were located in a cutting called a tail race which you can see in the top right area of this photograph.
