      I recall reading that Yrriganydji country had an old quartz quarry but can’t recall where I read this. Am I correct? If so, could I know where this is? Thanks.

        Hey Cindy,
        I read that the quartz mine is close to Wangetti site. If you look on the Interactive resource it explains more about the land.

        Kind Regards

          Hi Cindy,

          Tobin is correct (thanks Tobin!), the site of the old mine is near Wangetti. You can explore the area on the interactive resources, and there’s also a brief history about mining in the area on Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures website: https://www.crocodileadventures.com/our-story/early-explorers

          Thanks,
          Rachel
