| Caves used by miners |
The sudden arrival of hundreds of people into a mountain bush area placed a severe strain on housing. In a word there was none. The miners showed their ingenuity by using the caves caused by erosion in the sandstone cliffs, enlarging these and sometimes building a "porch" at the entrance. A typical "home" is shown in the picture above.
