    Marong Deep Lead Mine - Physical Description 1

    On the north side of a small dry dam is a 5 foot square brick chimney base standing 4 feet high. An intact brick flue, 3 feet long, leads from the base of the stack to a brick boiler setting. The 27 foot long 3-pass Cornish boiler setting still retains its internal flue. The bricks used in this setting are a mixture of handand machine-made ones. On the north side of the boiler setting is the concrete floor and shattered remains of the framing and cladding of a rectangular galvanised iron shed. There are also remains of a brick chimney. 12 metres north of the boiler setting stands the decaying remains of a bush timber poppet head. The poppet head would stand approximately 10 metres high and its legs rest on 2 foot square concrete pads. The shaft is open. 20 metres east of the boiler setting is a raised mound which contains the weathered remains of an elevated puddling machine. At the base of the puddling machine mound, on the east side, are some concrete foundations. 100 metres east of the mine site is a sand dump which may contain the wooden stumps of a 10-head battery. The poppet head is ruinous, the boiler setting is damaged, the mullock heaps and puddling machine site are weathered and the shed has been demolished.
