A source-led reading of Victoria’s current extractive-industry authority layer, the materials it names, the gaps it leaves, and the correct next step for regional research.
Clunes, Warrandyte, Buninyong, Ballarat and Bendigo each sit inside a different “first” story. The evidence becomes clearer when discovery, reporting, licensing, reward and rush are treated as separate events.
Minute books, rate records, roads, heritage studies, permits, libraries and civic collections can reconnect a working to the town around it—if the historical council and the record type are identified first.
Filter by name, commodity, state or status. Map points are source coordinates—not tenure, access or safety advice.
We link to the publisher and preserve the evidence class. A live link, sold badge or old transaction record is not our endorsement, valuation or proof of present ownership.
Choose a mining or quarrying city to see the notebooks, photographs, pay records, maps and workforce knowledge being sought. You can identify an item without donating it, publish with a chosen credit, or simply point the editor to the right collection.
Each plotted point is a published mine or quarry with source coordinates. It is an orientation map, not a tenure or access map.

The archive reads government collections, geological surveys and local records. Every new file says when it was actually assembled; a nineteenth- or twentieth-century date belongs to the cited material, not to this website.
