    By: John Dennis17th Mar 2022 10:19PMI need to correct my previous comment. This image has puzzled me for some time. It is most certainly the Stannary Hills Mines and Tramway Company, and the locomotive is most definitely one of the two Falcon (Brush) locos. I have now determined that the location is actually the Arbouin Mine siding. The ropeway above the loading bin is the giveaway. Ore from Arbouin Mine was horse hauled on a short tramway to a point opposite the Stannary Hills Tramway siding, from where the ore was transferred to a ropeway across Basin Gully, a distance of 670 ft, to the pictured loading bin.
    By: John Dennis19th Oct 2020 12:52PMStannary Hills Mines and Tramway Company, Stannary Hills, Qld. Ivanhoe Mine, with the overline ore bins under construction. The loco is a Falcon (Brush), either 292 or 293 of 1901. Behind the tender is the Stannary Hills 4-wheel passenger car, and a row of ore trucks, built on wooden underframes with the "bin" produced by Koppel. They were not tippers. but were emptied by "tumbling" the wagon on a track above the pre bins at the battery at Rocky Bluff.
