You have not captured a photo of Castambul House. The real CH is a wooden settlers cottage located almost 1km up the valley which is also home to the Victoria Mine.

I'm gonna go with Castambul House as there is no mention of anything but a wooden cottage at the mine.

From mapssa heritage list "This building, built in 1856, is of interest principally because of its unusual construction technique, set into the slope of a hill with the lower floor constructed of stone and mud, the upper floor constructed of timber. Originally part of a market gardening property, the house was later associated with Price Maurice as the head station of his 'Castambul' pastoral run."

It's always been Castambul House to us local kids.

Happy to accept any reference material you might have to further elucidate the matter.

Thanks again.

Thanks. I'll look into it again. Do you have any web sources I may look into?
