One delightful small piece of mining history is to found in Constance Street, Mareeba, is the Assay Office. This building was the first to be built outside the Brisbane area, and while not being used for some time now represents the vast mining interests that were in the area. The building dates from the early 1900s.   November 2007 Update ** This site is being revamped and will in future include:        a courthouse and police complex. **photos will be taken as work progresses
