Mount Clara chimney, Industrial heritage chimney near Kilkivan, Australia
The Mount Clara chimney stands 13.8 meters high and represents the remains of a copper smelter constructed with local bluestone and iron materials.
Built in 1873, the Mount Clara smelter operated during the copper mining boom when the surrounding area sustained a population of approximately 10,000 people.
The chimney structure reflects the industrial methods and construction techniques used in Queensland's early mining operations during the nineteenth century.
Visitors can reach the chimney by following Rossmore Road for 14 kilometers from the Wide Bay Highway, with parking available at the bottom of the hill.
The structure contains an internal ovoid form and a preserved fire-box, displaying the technical aspects of early Australian copper smelting operations.
