About Mafeking
Mafeking is a locality in the Australian state of Victoria, located south-east of Grampians National Park and 20 km (12 mi) from the nearest town of Willaura. "In 1900 there was a large rush to the Grampians area south of Mt William, to what became known as the Mafeking rush. In 1897 two splitters named Arthur and David Schache found gold in a gully in the granite area, and told the brothers Philip and Frank Emmett, who were on a shooting trip.
