The area produced several successful mines, resulting in the rapid growth of the town and soon it had at least three hotels. The Grand Hotel, whose remains litter the field in which Davyhurst stood, was the biggest and brightest. In 1906 the town had its own Ambulance car to take sick residents to hospital. It cost £140 ($280 today), with the town raising money by hosting a fancy dress football match, with costumes including a clown, washerwoman, barmaid, two sunflowers and one fellow with a kerosene can on his head as Ned Kelly. However despite it’s initial success, the town was shortlived, even by Goldfield’s standards. Most people had started to leave by the 1920’s as gold began to run out. There is still mining in the area today, with the majority of the larger leases being worked by Ora Banda Mining.
