An important site worth marking.
Only the cleared plateau occupied by the former town and a few exotic plantings indicate the towns existence, so complete was the removal of structures when the town failed. Some mining structures and remnants of the railway are in evidence.
Burbanks was the site of the Burbank's Birthday Gift, Burbank's North and Burbank's Consols mine. It was also the site of a wage hold up on 22 January 1897. It is an integral part of the goldfields story; a brief success followed by disappointment.
