Blackguard Gully, Heritage mining site in Young, Australia
Blackguard Gully stretches along Whiteman Avenue in Young, New South Wales, featuring natural rock formations and remnants of gold mining activities.
The site gained notoriety in 1861 when 3000 European miners marched against Chinese miners, leading to violent confrontations and subsequent legislative changes.
Chinese miners were restricted to this location during the Lambing Flat Gold Rush, marking a period of racial segregation in Australian mining history.
The heritage-listed reserve remains accessible through Whiteman Avenue, with informational panels explaining the historical events that occurred at this location.
Archaeological investigations from 2006 revealed potential deposits in undisturbed areas, preserving material evidence from the 1860s mining operations.
