Maps: LPI Glen Alice 89314N GR: 246 327 Track Notes: Comments Genowlan Mountain is a large mesa just north of the Gardens of Stone & east of Mt Airly, another large mesa. The mesas are separated by Gap Creek which has cut a narrow steep sided valley between them. The valley once supported a thriving mining community. The whole area has been mined for many years, initially for oil shale & later for gold & diamonds. In the early 1900s miners from Airly Village spent free time prospecting for gold on Genowlan Mountain. Old adits & other relics can still be seen. In the 1960s & 1970s Genowlan Mountain was mined for diamonds & gold. Genowlan Mountain has colonies of endangered plants, interesting canyons, large pagoda mazes & the relics of diamond & gold mining. The area is Crown Land & unfortunately is not protected.
