Statement of Significance
The quarry and the crushing of the stone made a significant contribution to the communications in
the State with the upgrading of the Albany Highway, one of the major transport links in W.A.
Physical Description
Situated about 7kms from Williams and on the west of the Albany Highway (75 metres). It is about
200 metres north of the quarry.
The site has a number of 9arth ramps and excavations with timber remnants. Since its use a number
of York gum seedlings have grown on the site.
History
Stone mined at the quarry would be transported to the crusher and the product would be used to
surface the roads when bound with tar. A number of drums which held the tar can still be seen in
the area.
