The Adelong gold deposits were mostly associated with basic emplacement within the Wondalga Granodiorite. Adelong Creek passes through a narrow gorge about 300m long and dropping 30m vertically, the ideal site for the Wilson and Ritchie Battery. The Battery site comprised two water wheels and weirs, races and aqueducts; a 24 foot buddle; a series of holding tanks; a small quarry; a reverberatory furnace and brick stack; a weighbridge; a works office; and a cottage with a terraced garden. This conserved site, on the outskirts of Adelong township, is an excellent example of gold mining in the last part of the nineteenth century. Log onto www.geomaps.com.au for details on all sites.
