A series of underground gold workings associated with metamorphosed ultramafic rocks located 5.2 km NNE of Coolgardie.
Notable for the first known occurrence of a Ni mineral in Western Australia, a single specimen of crystallised annabergite on vein quartz in the W.A. Museum collection, acquired during the curatorship of the Rev. Nicholay (late 19th Century). The locality was revisited in 2007 and the occurrence of annabergite confirmed (Peter Downes, WA Museum).
