Cortona Resources Ltd - which is currently advancing its Dargues Reef project near the tiny rural town of Majors Creek in NSW's south east - recently made a significant contribution to the cultural heritage of the region when it donated a restored mid-1800s Flandrau horse-drawn carriage to the Braidwood Historical Society. The quick speed, short wheel based, highly maneuverable four wheeler, which had been used to transport gold during the 1860s by local miner John Blatchford, was unsuccessfully held up by the infamous bushranger Ben Hall (with the help of the area's Clarke brothers) during March 1865.
