- Another substantial stone building's ruins.
- Looking from top of the cleared southern dam abutment over the Macquarie river to the forest clad northern abutment,
- Photo of dam wall foundations taken in 1960's - we did not find it this time, probably covered with silt build up and scrub regrowth.
