Much of the early history of Upper Bingara is centered around gold mining as, in its peak time, the area was covered with mining claims with a predominant Chines population amongst them. Most were in search of the elusive "MotherLode" which is rumoured to be the source of the heavy supply of gold found down Hall's Creek and even into the Gwydir River. To this day, that mysterious source has not been traced. A reminder of this bygone era is to be found at the Three Creeks Mine, a working alluvial gold fossicking area that is open to the public.
