Discovered by the Dallison Brothers in 1900 who were out kangaroo shooting and they found a copper stained rock scratched out by a mallee fowl nest. Harbour View was so called because the ocean at Mary Ann Harbour could be seen from here. Dallison later established a store at Kundip. The product of the mine was mainly gold and copper inhibited cyanide extraction in the tailings. The leases were worked by Dallison Bros, and on tribute. They produced 7032 tons for 1680 ounces of gold and 1113 tons for 65 tons of copper. From 1913 for about ten years. Harbour View Gold and Copper Lid produced 1210 tons for 90 tons of copper and 1603 tons for 1836 ounces of gold and 360 ounces of silver. Frank Dallison was a director of the company. When the leases were worked in 1940741 for gold, 519 tons were treated for 106 ounces. In 1901 a population of 43 was living at the Harbour View Campsite. The mine produced 5,730.12 ounces of fine gold between 1900 and 1941. The Harbour View had a ten head battery.
The mine operated from 1900 - 1941. Headframe removed.
