Our History - Episode 12 Magill Stone Mine

The State Heritage listed Magill Stone Mine Reserve is one of many reserves maintained by the City of Burnside, and is notable for being one of the few locations to have seen underground stone mining within South Austalia during the 1800s. Following the mine's closure, the land became an olive plantation in the late 1800s, inspiring the future works of local artist Dorrit Black in the 1940s.
In this edition of Our History, local historian Colin Harris takes us on a journey through the Magill Stone Mine Reserve, unveiling many of its secrets that remain visible to this day.
