For those who have never heard of Happy Go Lucky,also known as Pearson Town or "The Happy", it is an old ghost town about 3Km South East of Walhalla on the old coach road to Toongabbie via Bruntons Bridge.
The road is not the best but you can drive a car there. Don't expect to find more than a clearing where the old hotel used to be as the town died in 1917.
The claim at HGL was pegged out in Oct 1863 by a couple of blokes who gave away a third share to the famous opportunist "Peter The Packer" for a bag of flour. The first crushing in 1864 yielded 9325 Ounces. The reef was nearly flat, averaging 2 feet thick.
"The reef tapers to the surface at the south eastern portion of the claim extending nearly flat into the hill to the north west for some distance when it takes a sudden twist and rises almost vertical to the surface"
In Oct 1863 HGL Quartz Mining crushed 186 tons in 3 weeks yielding 709 ounces. Lilydale Company reported 160 Oz from crushing 75 tons. Castle Rose GM averaged 2 Oz per ton.
When Goldstar was drilling multi layered dykes at Eureka just up the road, I hoped that they would also drill at HGL and find that the HGL flat reef was actually the top layer of a structure like Eureka but richer. I quess ORN will soon let us know the true geology of Happy Go Lucky.
