From whitfish, follow worthington road until youcross second set of tracks, turn right, keep going, fork right and follow to crean hill REMAINS: Mine buildings, occasionally in use |
| Opened at the turn of the century, this nickel deposit would contain a sizeable townsite of 400 residents by 1910. A store, a post office (1909-19), and an AER station were the main focal points of the community, the settlement was abandoned when the mine closed in the mid 1920's.
