Originally called Crocodile Creek the area saw a small gold rush during the late 19th century. Today, gold is still mined in Bouldercombe, but only by amateurs. The mine still has a wide variety of gold alloys, and is a particularly good spot for alluvial.
The total area of the reserve is 39.6 km2.[2]
