[1] During the late 1860s the town known as Castle Reef had a population of around 300, a Post Office under that name opening on 11 January 1868 (closing 1875).

[2] It included two hotels, a general store, a school, a church, and possibly a restaurant.

The town's industry was centred on a crushing machine which worked the three gold reefs in the area.

The whole area was burnt including Gaffneys Creek and Ten Mile.
