Description
A gold mining town which is now just a tiny settlement on the Great Northern Highway. It was named after the miner Tom Payne.
On July 22nd
1911 the local residents elected to call the town Carnation but this was not
accepted by the Government and was named Payne's New Find. Two months later
this was changed to just Payne's Find. |
