    QUARTZ MINE - Heritage Inventory Description

    A disturbed quartz reef mine site that contains some remains of machinery foundations and a mullock heap. The centre of the mullock heap appears to have been bulldozed into the shaft. There is some mounding of mullock and earth around the shaft site, which is a depression. The mullock heap is west of the shaft and the foundations are east of the shaft. The remains of the walls of a boiler setting is recognisable, which is essentially mounds 9-10m long and 2.5m wide from the outside of one wall to the other. A mound 3m by 2m is located east of the boiler setting which has some stones which appear to be set in place. At the west end of the boiler setting there is a vague outline of a trench running west and turning north. There are also sections of rough broken concrete and rocks in the area.
