Gold Find on Gunnawarra Holding at Mt Garnet
Reports a November gold discovery near Woltram Hall by Mr. Fant of Herberton on Gunnawarra Station. Despite earlier rich finds nearby, the district has yielded little worthwhile, with past prospects near St Ronan's, Arey, and related sites failing to deliver. An expedition by air and ground explored the area, but results remained elusive and fortunes in the gold country have often come from overlooked prospects.
