Bird-in-Hand mine

Former mine in South Australia

The Bird-in-Hand mine was an underground gold mine near Woodside in the Adelaide Hills east of Adelaide in South Australia. It was the largest of 17 gold mines in the area, and operated between 1881 and 1889. It produced 10,500 ounces (300,000 g) of gold at an average grade of 12.9 grams per tonne in the 1880s. The mine closed when the inflow of water made it uneconomic to continue, and miners moved to Broken Hill where rich ore had been found.
