"The story of gold at the Ten Mile begins with the stories of gold discoveries at the big river and at Gaffney's creek. Gold was first discovered on the Goulburn in 1854 at Casheen's Point a little upstream from Jamieson. The history the Jamieson goldfield has 3 main threads : one - story of gold, of the reefs, miners, investors, the machinery and methods of mining, the second is the story of ten mile, the rise and fall of the Allen empire, and the third is of development of Jamieson the supply centre and the ultimate demise of the town."
