Never have found it Greg. One of the respondents in that thread had visited the adit a long time earlier but when they returned to the same spot found the aftermath of a landslide.
Assumption is it's buried underneath the rubble. I've casually looked again whenever I've been down Hungerfords Track but nothing revealed.
I know a couple of people from Springwood Bushwalkers from volunteer bushcare trips but haven't seen them for a while. If we catch up again I'll ask.
Andy McQueen's book was where I saw the mine info originally. Once the Grose Valley tracks reopen I might have another look in case the fire has opened things up around there.

Too easy if you know it
. Unfortunately my knowledge of Victoria is limited to a handful of places, so it will be trial and error.
Your clue hinted at a location I found called Paradise Beach in the Gippsland Lakes area but doesn't match the scene.
So I was thinking maybe somewhere around Wilson's Prom and came up with Waratah Bay.
