Beaconsfield Gold

[Murielle]

Taken from the museum, which is part of the old gold mine that provided the funds to establish Launceston.
The deeds for our original family property are held here and it was in this mine that at least 2 of my uncles died.

School girls pan for gold in the old mine - part of the museum.

Murielle, two dramatic shots and a reminder of the recent disaster when things at the mine went horribly wrong.
