A short drive from town brought us to the Pink cliffs
This interesting & colourful phenomenon was exposed by early gold mining activities
The McIvor gold rush began in April 1853 & attracted thousands of prospectors.
They swarmed throughout the area & quickly exhausted gold in the shallow conglomerate-free grounds
Sluicing work was carried on until early 1880's & it was in this period that work in the Pink cliffs area revealed these colourful "hills"
