Mathinna is a town out from Fingal out towards the east coast. Gold used to be mined out there as recently as 1990’s by a Russian mining company. More recent exploration might mean the mine is opened again. Workers were left stranded when it closed down and a couple of Russians were never heard from again.
A person I worked with owns an old Catholic Church high on a hill. Free camped on his block. Church is heritage listed. No water or power so it was our first free camp for 5 nights.
