hi everyone neede a change so i went for a m.d on softer ground.by 1865 the local gov realized that there was a need to set up a waste system.the mount of miners had reached 20,000. so they brought a large wagon with a tank on it and asked people to put their waste into a pale and empty into the wagon when it did the daly rounds.don't know how many wagons they had but the records show they employed 15 men.the waste was dumped into a large dam away from the poeple.there no sign of anything on the site just an empty block.pic
