Bob and Sue made us very welcome on their property, where we set up camp on their back lawn. John mentioned that he had seen a black circular structure on Google earth and enquired as to what it was. In the morning Bob drove us to Kuridala, where there was a black circular slag heap some 400 metres across formed by dumping of slag from a railway track run around the outside of the heap. Kuridala was an old copper mining town with 30 pubs established in 1911 with the mine decommissioned in 1920 after the world copper price collapsed after world war1.
Mystery explained.
We decided to stay an extra night at Bob and Sue’s so we spent the afternoon catching up on washing, cleaning and generally tidying up our campers.
