Statement of Significance
The site is a prominent natural feature of the landscape
Physical Description
With a height of 371.6m this is the highest hill in the Shire (some 2.5 metres higher than
Kenine). It is known in telecommunications terms as NT3.
In contrast to the other large hills in the district which are characterised by their granite
rocks, Mine Hill is largely ironstone based.
History
This hill was a notable omission from the list of natural features named by JS Roe on his
Great Southern expedition. The current name relates to the frenzied gold mining activity
on the northern slopes in 1908.
Due to the ironstone composition of the hill, the area wasn't favoured as a settlement site
in the pioneering days. A Scottish family (name Waddell) did live on the western slopes
between the hill and Quartermaine Road for a time early in the Twentieth Century.
