Klondyke Coke Ovens, Industrial heritage site in Brassall, Queensland, Australia.

The Klondyke Coke Ovens consist of twelve brick domed structures arranged in two rows, measuring 3.45 meters in diameter and reaching heights of 1.65 meters.

Constructed between 1942 and 1945, these ovens produced one-sixth of Queensland's coke during World War II, making them one of only two active coke producers in the region.

The industrial remains showcase the local manufacturing process through bricks marked with the Rylance Colliery trademark, indicating strong connections to regional production methods.

Visitors can access the ovens via a path from W.M. Hughes and Musgrave Streets, where they can observe scattered remnants of railway lines and crushing machinery.

The beehive-shaped ovens contain individual flues and form part of a 23-meter-long mound, now partially hidden beneath growing vegetation.
