Known as the Lone Star Hut or Lone Star Mine.
Located in the Lisle Forest, Golconda, near to Lilydale NE Tasmania. There is a prominet ridge running north from Mt Arthur where two mines were formed.
History
This area supported Gold Mining from 1877 with the arrival of Alfred Brewer and his sons, who prospected in the local creeks.
William Kennett applied for a lease over 8 acres in 1878 and called it Golconda. Another lease was also sought to the west and called Panama.
The hut still stands but only just.
