Mount Temi mine is a thing over there. It was near to Temple Court railway station for a final place. First located 1862, ref'd, and started 1871-ish, ref'd, but not done until later. When it was done the loop line was in place, with the short line up to the retort discharge thingy. THis took time due to the link over the mountain. Horses, rope way. DIdn't last too long, but being closed, was re-opened in the same year.[5]

And again, later.[6]
