What goes up, must come down. Great place to start for some technical challenges
A phrase well known to local residents. It dates back to the early mining years of Mount Morgan. For almost 20 years from 1900, miners would have a billycan filled with beer at a hotel, rather than a glass. Much like an environmental BYO coffee cup of today.
During this time, “cutter” was the name given to a miner’s billycan. History tells young local lads would be given a miners’ billycans and tasked with running it to a nearby hotel and have it filled with beer and brought back to the miner to quench his thirst after a long shift.
Today, this tradition lives on through the annual Golden Mount Festival. As part of the town’s festivities, a special relay races sees teams run between hotels with a cutter, and down a glass a beer as fast as possible.
