  1. Old Story

    Share Share Post
    Long ago people dreamt that there was gold under a big stone in Con Shea's field. The people were from Castlemaine.
    They came at night in a horse and car. They made a big hole near the stone but found no gold. The hole is closed now but the big stone is still there.
