Mount Gibraltar Trachyte Quarries Complex
Mount Gibraltar Trachyte Quarries Complex, Heritage quarry complex in Bowral, Australia.
Mount Gibraltar Trachyte Quarries Complex spans across six separate quarrying sites, featuring exposed rock faces and industrial remnants from past mining operations.
The quarries operated from 1886 to 1986, employing 200 workers at peak production and supplying stone for major construction projects throughout New South Wales.
The extracted Bowral Trachyte stone forms the foundation of numerous significant buildings, including the Queen Victoria Building and Central Station in Sydney.
Visitors can explore the quarry sites through established heritage walks that connect to two former excavation areas with information panels.
The microsyenite rock formation at Mount Gibraltar represents the only commercial quantity of trachyte stone discovered in this specific geological composition worldwide.
