You got it Cuppa mate Prosiedon
They are still mining there but access to the old mine is no problem and if anyone is out that way its well worth the visit
In September 1969 Prosiedon shares were $0.80, in October they were $12.30 then by February 1970 the price was $280 then the big crash Google is my friend for some interesting reading
Take it away Cuppa
OK, 3 pics, all taken within a few metres of each other....... but where?
In the 2nd pic is an old motor, broken beer bottles & an old battery. extra brownie points if you can identify the motor (I have no idea)
In the 3rd pic is an old timber framed fridge which someone obviously wanted dead. Included for TD's interest.
Even more brownie points if you can tell us what the failed plans for this place were.

Tah, must be Sth Aust as thats where most sandstone ruins are, thinking Leigh creek area
Your powers of deduction are holding you in good stead TD, it is in SA, & not a million miles from Leigh Creek, although i wouldn't describe it as in the 'Leigh Creek area' as such, you'll need to pin it down a bit more to take the biscuit.

Is it farina? Was going to be big wheat growing area according to gov of time. To bad no one realised there was no water.
Not Farina nor wheat Blacklotusdog...... But you're not really that far off.

How about Kanyaka sheep and cattle station?
That mountain looks familiar sort of from the jump up country around Packsaddle
