chillagoe smelters印象

After finishing the cave tour, we drove up to see the Smelters before we leave Chillagoe. Its a deserted place now, but the ruins and the posters provide plenty of information of what it was like during the boom time. The Smelters area is fenced off, and no entry is allowed due to Asbestos contamination. But the sheer size of it, one can imagine how this place was teeming with workers. There`s a small track up the hill where you gain a good view over the whole place. Its worth spending a bit of time here. Just a good example of seeing the boom and bust cycles of the mining industry. Now its so quiet, so dead silent.

A great reminder of the frailty of even the most significant of commercial endeavours. Well worth some quiet reflection and easy to get to.
-
Well set up with the information boards, the area is fenced off and you have to view from the distance. A lovely place to watch the sunset.
-
amazing to see how litte remains of the once thriving and bustling town. sic transit gloria mundi. Impressive ´, too,, is the amount of slag which can still be seen.

The perimeter fence has been erected to prevent visitors from touching the historical ruins and presumably from imbibing toxic dust (metal and/or chemical compounds) covering the Ruins. So unless you have a camera with a telephoto lens it is difficult to obtain close photographs of objects scattered amongst the ruins. The signage in the purpose built open air shelter is informative and the short trails to vistas and smaller historical sites are clearly marked.

Australian early history, harsh environment and conditions over the early years, intriguing landscapes,
-
All the information is there to read. Cannot get down to smelter due to asbestos. Amazing tall chimneys still standing after all this time
-
The smelter site has very informative signage boards to explain how huge this place was. The view of the valley from the top of the hill is just amazing!
-
The smelters are fascinating and provide a great insight into the history of Chillagoe's mining past.

I was looking forward to this but you can no longer enter the area due to toxic substances that are thought to be there,
