Beechworth: A titan’s field by Carole Woods

Beechworth: A Titan’s Field  describes the Ovens River district from the 1840s concentrating o the 19th Century. ‘A titan’s field’ was how a vising journalist in the 1880sa described the environs of Beechworth: the worked-out goldfield with its huge mounds of earth looked as though it had been churned up by a giant.  The term encompasses other aspects of the Beechworth district.  The profusion of boulders and sleety sheets of granite have the phantasmic appearance of a Titan’s realm, and the craggy ranges of the Woolshed Valley were one of the haunts of the Kelly gang.
