Summary

[General description] View of Wallaroo smelters, their chimneys silhouetted against the sky. Their construction was begun in 1861, soon after James Boor discovered traces of copper at the Wallaroo Mine site. The largest chimneystack is known as the Hughes Chimney, named after Sir Walter Watson Hughes who was the pastoralist on whose property the Moonta lodes were found.
