The Kiandra Goldfields were pretty much defunct by the turn of last century. Even 100 years later you can still see the scars on the land, the artificial ponds, presumably small open cut mines in the past, mullock heaps and erosion scars all over the area. Nor have the trees grown back. Alpine environments are delicate even if they look rugged. Our damage lasts a long time. Despite our scars I still find it beautiful.

Enjoy.

Mikel.
