During the mid to late 1850's gold miners were making their way up the Big and Goulburn Rivers striking payable ground at regular intervas. Parties of adventurous prospectors kept advancing up the wild and remote valley to the junction of two main headwater tributaries of the Gulburn River where some phenomenally rich gold was discovered in 1861. This was at what we now know as Wood's Point, named after a pioneering storekeeper of the district named Harry Wood.
