Summary

Bullock team hauling a wagon down the street at Blinman. This land belonged to the Adnyamathanha people who cared for it by performing regular controlled bushfires which promoted plant growth. Mining became popular after Robert Blinman discovered copper in the vicinity. The hotel and post office were opened in 1863, and shops developed from 1869. In the main street stands an Institute Building. Nearby Nuccaleena had a Miners Institute which opened in 1861 and here the miners were entertained by band music and visiting speakers
