Ah, yes: Jericho. Little gold mining place. The 'town', or rather what remains of it, is in the valley below. The approach down from the ridge is, from memory, pretty steep, but the track then runs along the valley floor. There is a river diversion there, done for gold mining purposes, that includes a tunnel about 50 metres long (don't quote me: it's been a while!). The miners sheltered there during the '39 fires, and survived.

Anyway, lots of interesting mines and mining history in the area. Been many years since I last ventured in there, so things may well have changed considerably!
