Flirtation Hill Mudgee, Flirtation Hill Gulgong - both had gold mines on or adjacent to them. Why that name ?

Hey Jig, lots of country towns have a flirtation hill. A good spot to park with your GF at night if you get my drift.
True!

Jig MT took me there and said there was a mine on top of the hill at Mudgee..............................he lied .

Liar..you said do you want to see mine on the top of a hill at mudgee...I miss heard you. So we necked...he tried to flirt with me..so I necked him

Went to a place called " Cock Head Creek ' in NZ, that got me wondering about that place name origin he he..

I Know where Flirtation hill is in gulgong ,, know where most of the old diggings were / are in gulgong , (there is still a open shaft 30 ft from a road in gulgong town centre,, ,,, but have never heard of flirtation hill in mudgee and i lived there, the closest mine to mudgee i know of is 3 ks out the ##22@^&** road,, are you sure jig

Jigs...according to one bloke on the forums, Spidertice and I are one and the same person..and I'm already home.

But then as you know Spider and also know me...that must make you me too!

In the ol days it was Flirtation hill look out, now days I think its called Mt frome??
The nearest mine to that area i believe would be what was known as the pit on your way up to 3 poles.
More of a quarry then a mine??

Tony, if you drive all the way up Douro st till the end,,turn right on to Madeira rd, flirty is just up past the water tanks, and it was a popular hang out for rev heads in the 80,s after we were kicked out of the main st.

As for necking, i think thats what the oldies called it, I can't tell you what it was called in the 80's because its not permitted on a public forum, but had very little to do with your neck.

Gulgong in the old days was popular for specking nuggets out of the gutter in the streets after a heavy rain, back in the days when the road was still dirt, and from what i was told by locals born and bread on the wifes side at the time, flirty was also known for finding nuggets around the base.
But you wont turn a PI on in either locations.

Too true Narra. Flirtation Hill at G/gong was once known as Red Hill. Those who know the history will know thats where the rush started.
