Central Power Plant, showing 1,000 kW Turbo Generator at Wallaroo Mines in approximately 1914 - 1920. The mine struggled in the years after World War 1 due to the downturn in the price of copper, closing for long periods and losing large amounts of money between 1919 and 1922. The mine shut down in 1923.
