Klondyke Coke Ovens, Industrial heritage site in Brassall, Queensland, Australia.
The Klondyke Coke Ovens consist of twelve brick domed structures arranged in two rows, forming part of a long mound. Each beehive-shaped chamber contained individual flues for processing coal into coke.
These ovens were built between 1942 and 1945 to meet wartime demand for coke. They operated as one of only two active producers in the region during this critical period.
The brick structures bear marks from Rylance Colliery, showing the local manufacturing methods of the era. These stamps reflect how the site connected to the region's industrial identity.
Access the ovens via a path from W.M. Hughes and Musgrave Streets in the area. Note that vegetation now covers parts of the site, so wear sturdy shoes and watch your footing carefully.
These beehive-shaped structures played a role in supplying fuel for Australia's wartime efforts and remain as physical evidence of that era. Their unique form allowed efficient heat circulation during coal processing.
