Track Notes:

Comments:

Shale Oil Mining activities at Mount Airly commenced in the last 1880s and continued until the mid 1920s.

Activity in the area was intense.  Supporting Infrastructure for the Shale Mines & the Oil Works included the villages of Airly & Torbane as well as 2 different tramway systems.  Many miners chose to live close to the mines in Cave Houses .

Relics from the Mine, the Oil Works, the Cave Houses & the 2 tramways can still be seen today, making the area well worth visiting.
