Forest Reefs
About
Located in Cadia Valley and a popular stop for miners on their way home after a long 12-hour shift is Forest Reefs. Back in its heyday Forest Reefs was a gold mining area with gold being found in the 1860s-1870s.
In 1901 the Post Office Directory listed Forest Reefs with a population of 500 and included a butcher, blacksmith, baker, school, and two hotels.
Today, the population of Forest Reefs still sits around 500 and is popular with young families, but as for the businesses, only the pub remains.
