Summary
The towns of Adamsfield and Gordonvale were built to house the miners, their families and associated businesses resulting from the discovery and mining of Osmiridium, a mineral worth approximatley seven times that of gold in the decades leading up to the second world war. Osmiridium, a naturally occuring mineral, was used to manufacture fountain pen nibs, poisonous gases and jewellery. It was also used for medical and dental purposes and later in the electronics industry.
