JIMMY GHAN'S EUCY DISTILLERY - History
Eucy sites are not well documented due to their nature and time period. There is nothing on TROVE. When the site was recorded according to a local informant it was Jimmy Ghan’s Eucy Distillery dating to the c1930s/1940s.JIMMY GHAN'S EUCY DISTILLERY - Interpretation of Site
The site is a Eucy distillery containing evidence of many of the characteristic elements, except for a steam boiler. Thought was given to amalgamating three adjoining site H7624–0113, 0114, and 0115 as a single landscape. However the distinctive differences between H7624-0114 (Eucy distillery) and H7624-0115 (Eucy factory) means they should be assessed in their own right. An option for the future is a new Site Card established for the dam or reservoir (the focal point for the Eucy sites) and the two sites included in its extent. The third site H7625-0113 (tailings and cyanide works) possesses poor archaeological value due to the damage caused by trail bikes.

Heritage Inventory Significance: Local
SiteCard data copied on 03/07/2024: The distillery is located between the north corner of the Unity Dam and the base of the massive tailings dump. The distillery’s crane is in good condition. Underneath the crane are two circular (9ft diameter) brick-lined vats. Both vats are open - a concrete lid lies near the side of the western vat; the other lid appears to have disintegrated and fell into its vat. Running south from the vats to the dam is a stone-lined condensing channel. Some galvanised guttering lies in the channel. 6 metres north-east of the crane are the demolished remains of a brick boiler setting. A short (3 metre long) flue runs from the rear of the boiler setting to a collapsed iron chimney stack. The surviving section of the stack is 5 metres long. At the front of the boiler setting are two iron ship tanks hidden by a prickle bush. The site also contains a partly quarried dump of boiler ash.
