In-situ 3-pass Cornish boiler, 6 feet diameter and 19½ feet long, with an offset flue 3 feet in diameter. The date of its last inspection - 20-12-1939 - and the maker's name - Hampton and Halliday, Engineers, Footscray - is cast on the furnace end of the boiler. At the east end of the boiler is a square brick chimney base and a collapsed iron stack made from the fire tube of a Cornish boiler with Galloway tubes. Nearby is an intact crane (constructed of bush timber) positioned above two circular, 7 foot diameter brick vats. A brick-lined drain leads from the vats to a long brick condensing pit. There are two shallow dams nearby.
