19thC simple, basic farmhouse. Primitive, rammed earth house, now in poor repair. Good location to recreate ambience of early pioneering days.

Poppet head is a recreation similar to that used during gold mining era at Hill End late 19th C. Mearby is purpose built mine shaft for tourism and filming purposes. Runs 130 metres into hillside. Timbered in the traditional way in parts and hard rock in other parts. Has power supply and power points throughout. Rail track and trolley available as props or for tracking shots. At end of shaft is series of timber ladders to surface. This ‘mine’ is an ideal filming location. Being purpose built, it overcomes the OHS and Mining Act restrictions normally applying to current or disused mines.

A monument to Lithgow’s industrial history. It was here that the first iron and the first steel in Australia were cast.
William Sandford established the blast furnace in 1886 and it continued production until 1928 when the entire industry was moved to Port Kembla.
The site has now been developed as a park around the remains of the pump house and the foundations of the furnace.
Lithgow City Council
Remnants of a once grand 19thC mansion. Sadly, now only a shell remains after a fire. Located on outskirts of Bathurst.
