== History ==
::A sample of flagging has been sent to the Western Council from Mr [[C. Tippett]], contractor, from a quarry which he states he has discovered, distant between 20 and 27 miles from [[Ballarat]].  The Council sometime ago offered a reward for the discovery of a quarry near [[Ballarat]]; and, acting on that intimation, [[Mr Tippett]] set about instituting a search.  The sample seems of fair quality, but it will yet require to be tested before any decided opinion can be formed respecting its durability, &c.''<ref>''[[The Star]]'' ([[Ballarat]], Vic. : 1855 - 1864), Monday 24 October 1864, pages 1—2.
