Clohesy - Cairns/Mossman District
The town named for the adjacent Clohesy River where gold was discovered in 1892.
Read the story of the McElhinneys who sold their mine to the Lawsons before “driving the last foot” which was to expose a leader rich with gold.
The Lawsons became wealthy, the McElhinneys lived in regret.
