Aspen Battery Track, Bendoc, Victoria.
Description
The Jungle King Mine commenced operation in 1889 and is a fine example of a quartz mining shaft. It was worked by the 'old hands' then re-worked by several Bendoc identities in the 20th century without a great deal of success.
Local legend has it that a fellow named Jones discovered the Jungle King Reef. Jones was supposed to have sold this with other mines in the Bendoc-Clarkeville goldfields for the tidy sum of 300 pounds each.
Camp could also be used a base for the Aspen Battery walking track.
