Green Tent Rd (Historical Site Excavations)
During 2010 archaeological excavations conducted along the Midland Highway in Meredith uncovered the remains of a bluestone structure thought to relate to a temporary goldrush settlement referred to as ‘Green Tent’. The remains formed a distinct hexagonal shape and involved a raised bluestone floor above undressed stone and broken glass. The site was investigated and discussed in relation to number of possible functions including a toll-gate/house operating from the 1860s, a kitchen or mill associated to known homesteads within the area, or the Green Tent Hotel which burnt down in 1862.
