04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
No it still exists but the photo was taken 30 years ago.
Thats over near Trot Park SA
There is probably about 4 suburbs bordering in this photo and Trott Park is one of them, what is the name of the valley or river?Originally Posted by pearcey
It`s the Field river mate
You got it, I grew up in Reynella and would go there all the time to explore the caves and catch yabbies in the creek.
It looks a bit different now with the southern expressway next to it.
There was an old mine and pump house just a bit west of that photo. the chimney stack was still there a few years ago don`t know if its still there with all the new housing going in. I have the drawings and history of the mine stored some were .
i`lll go look for a photo
one mans dedication to our past
Don`t go by the title
That is the Worthing copper mine engine house and chimney stack and they should still be there as i believe they were heritage listed.
You may want to put up a different photo, you put up Bublacowie military museum in Feburary.
Bugga I wondered why it was resized.
Going by some history the mine was a bit of a scam by the owners who floated it but the mine never made any returns and was abandoned and left a few people broke.
