Photograph, Copy, Mayfield Quarry, Mernda, unknown
The age of the bluestone quarry at Mernda is uncertain, it is believed to date from the early times of settlement in the area, in the mid 19th century. Nearby bluestone buildings such as Mayfield Presbyterian Church and the butter factory at Mayfield may have been sourced from here. Both of these buildings were constructed by Moses Thomas, a very early settler and previous owner of this land.Photo, copy, coloured ink on paperbluestone, moses thomas, quarry, bluestone quarry, mayfield, mernda, mayfield presbyterian church, mernda quarry, 19th century -

ICI Explosives Sampler
The Forests Commission had a large and active engineering branch which was often called upon for major demolition or quarry work. Most overseers, as well as some foresters, were trained in the use of explosives to “blow stuff up” such as removing stumps and rocks from roads. Districts usually had a small powder magazine tucked away in the bush for storage of gelignite and detonators.Sample board showing examples of explosives and detonatorsroad construction and maintenance. -
