Other Information
The Edjudina Goldfield is 120 kilometres south-east of Kookynie, and 18 kilometres east of the nearest other goldfield being Yarri. The Edjudina Goldfield contains the longest line of auriferous reefs in Australia at approximately 20 kilometres long. There are four to five parallel reefs for the entire line of lode, with historic workings seen virtually its entire length. Several private batteries have been erected on the goldfield from the 1890's to the 1930's.
