Rokewood Junction, 2008

Genre:
Rokewood Junction was a gold-mining township on the Little Woady Creek, 35 km south-west of Ballarat, and 8 km north-west of Rokewood. The description of the place as a junction appears to have been because of the intersection of a minor back road between Dereel and Pitfield (also gold towns) with two creeks.
There are extensive old mine workings in the hills around Rokewood Junction, which are nearly the only evidence of the township.
