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.
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.
