Irvinebank - Mt Misery - Tin Mining Town

Why go from Mt Garnett to Mt Misery via a very steep, rough, washed-out 4WD only track to Irvinebank? cause its a nice place to camp of course. And so it was, on the side of a creek opposite the only store/pub in town, free camping. hot showers and lots to explore in this history steeped tin mining town.



























Checked out the old dam used for the tin smelter, explored the museum of John Moffatt who founded the tin mine and the town, saw the cemetary, had dinner at the pub and got John had a gig there for the following Saturday when all the Willies Jeeps came to town. Climbed into, upto and onto the most dangerous places all frought with danger! But most of had fun and met lots of great people.
