Summary

Mining at Iron Monarch near Iron Knob - aerial view showing zig-zag roads from where the ore is being removed. Electric trucks were used to bring the ore down to the crushers halfway down the face of the hill. From here conveyer belts take the ore to the railway below where it is loaded mechanically and carried on to Whyalla for shipment to Newcastle.
