My heritage place

Tyrconnell gold mine, part of the Hodgkinson goldfield in far north Queensland, was once home to 10,000 gold miners and their families. Ten people live in the area near Dimbulah now. Home for five of them - Andy Bell, Cate Harley and their three young boys - is a 1930s timber-and-tin mine office connected by a breezeway to the former singlemen’s quarters.
