Nerriga gold deposits

The following information covers the belt of country between the Endrick River and the eastern watershed boundary of the Mongarlowe (Little) River, these being two north flowing tributaries of the Shoalhaven. The auriferous areas about the Shoalhaven in this belt are also dealt with.

This area was covered by the Nerriga Mining Division between 1878-1902, after which it was incorporated in the Braidwood Division. The country on the north side of the Shoalhaven appears to have been part of the Goulburn Division. Topics covered in this Primefact include:

• alluvial mining
