This upward facing fold, called an anticline, is a nice example of how the gold-bearing strata in the Victorian goldfields are folded. This is 40 km south of Bendigo at Castlemaine, which was also bustling with miners during the goldrush in the 1850s. The bronze plaque on top of the fold says the anticline was exposed in 1874 when Lyttleton Street East was constructed.
