In the gum-digging days in the latter half of last century, there were many gum diggers camping on the banks <span>of<em> </em></span>the </span><span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'&quot;>river just a few chains from the Portland turnoff.</span></font></p><p><font color=&quot;#000000&quot;></font><font color=&quot;#000000&quot;><span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; letter-spacing: -0.05pt&quot;>Not far from the bridge, some <span>of<em> </em></span>the piles <span>of<em> </em></span>which are still to be seen, there was a creamery and a slaughterhouse, and these both used to drain into the river. In the evenings, the gum diggers used to dance to the music of a concertina on the old bridge.
