Within the town of Dunolly, you can find the diggings of the Old Deep Lead. A deep lead, is actually an ancient river that was buried by lava flows, and in Victoria, you can find many of them. Hundreds, if not thousands in fact. The pronounced wave of volcanic eruptions that Victoria experiencing, beginning around 7 million years ago, led to it earning the title of the third largest volcanic province to exist on our planet. And, this is certainly a correct title.

Basaltic eruptions, spewed non-viscous flowing lava everywhere. These lava flows, buried extremely ancient rivers. Rivers that had been flowing and in place, for tens of millions to hundreds of millions of years, suddenly got covered up and buried... And with them, all of the valuable treasures also vanished.

These rivers, were absolutely saturated with gold. And this gold, was abundant to such an impressive degree, that tens of thousands of people were willing to risk their lives to obtain it.
