Nerrigundah Joss House

The next thing which attracted my attention was the Chinese joss house.

During the performance, a number of [Chinese people] assembled round a kind of oven built of stones and clay, somewhat resembling the shape of an ant-bed. After removing the top of the improvised oven, a pig was hauled out, baked whole.

There are two churches-a very neat and well-appointed Catholic Chapel, and a Church of England. There is also a public school, school of arts, and a Chinese Joss-House, which, for the nonce, seems to have been taken possession of by some of the European miners. There are also a Chinese storekeeper, and a few Chinese miners, still left amongst the population of 300.
