Today we visit Adelong Falls, a few k’s out of town and the site of the gold processing plant. Adelong Creek flows fast and cold, there are a few ruined buildings left.

These are the remains of the Wilson and Ritchie Battery.

The battery site comprises: two water wheels with associated weirs, races and aqueducts; a 24 foot buddle; a series of holding tanks; a small quarry; a reverbatory furnace with separate brick stack; a weighbridge; a works office; a cottage with a terraced garden; a metalled entry road with stone revetments; three paths and an unidentified terrace. (Winston-Gregson 1985: 35)

We can see a close up of what remains of the biggest water wheel. Those prospectors were a pretty enterprising lot!
