Statement of Significance
Notable as being the site of quarrying for stone to be crushed and used as a surface for the
upgrading of the Albany highway in the 1930's. the bituminising of the road at that time became
essential due to the increased number of motor vehicles and the poor state the road was in.
Physical Description
Located about 7 kms from Williams on the west side of the Albany Highway. The quarry is about
100-150 metres from the highway.
It is a 'kidney' shape about 120 metres x 50 metres with an excavation of the hillside of 6-30
metres. In winter the hole fills with water.
