Brian Longley What was the goldminer's track between Taylorville and Blackball called? Cheers.

Glenn Johnston Yep some good beehive shaped cairns up there. Think we have had various pictures of them on here in the past. There are also stones set on edge between some of the cairns marking the line between the cairns so that travelers didn't get lost in dense cloud or fog.

Glenn Johnston Here is an example of one of the cairns; it is probably over 150 years old now.
