One of the blast doors on the exits from the main engine at the abandoned gas turbine testing and reasearch facility. If you are a fan of Red Dwarf you might be interested to know that this is the frozen door that Lister blows open in the Epideme episode. A short clip of it is on Youtube which can be seen here

This is Rockley Blast Furnace, well what is left of it! What survives is the stack with an inner lining of heat resisting sandstone blocks, but the hearth itself and most of the dressed stone outer facings have gone. To the south side is the charging bank which was linked to the furnace top by a bridge. This also used to be a place as a child used to go and hide and seek!, last weekend brought back some great memories!

It’s a shame that I don’t have anything to give a sense of scale here, the only thing I can say is, if you are use to looking through a wide angle lens you will know that you have to be close to get the drama, let me tell you, two meters forward and this wave would have whipped you of the rocks, it was a big sucker and waiting for no one. Shot at Currumbin Rocks on the last day of our hols, Jan 2009. Shot on a Nikon D700 with 17-35mm Nikkor Lens

In the year 2069 an elderly man slowly makes his way down to his basement, his legs are stiff with age and arthritis. He moves a few items and sees the wooden trunk that he is looking for; as he opens the lid he thinks how the old rusted hinges are just as stiff as his old legs. With the lid fully opened he gazes upon items from his past, and as he pulls each item out and examines it, his mind is flooded from all the memories of younger days, as his shaking hand reaches into the bottom of the trunk he touches the one thing that brought a smile upon his weathered face. He pulls up an old stained photo of a love from long ago…….and he remembers of sweet times, kisses, tears and a blast from the past. Best viewed large This is a 3D digital rendered image.

BETTER VIEWED LARGER A monument to Lithgow’s industrial history. It was here that the first iron and the first steel in Australia were cast. William Sandford established the blast furnace in 1886 and it continued production until 1928 when the entire industry was moved to Port Kembla. The site has now been developed as a park around the remains of the pump house and the foundations of the furnace In order to meet the obligations of his contract, Sandford built a new blast furnace with a capacity of 1,000 tons per week the funds for which were secured through a significant bank overdraft (Brown 1989, p.74). The bank was to shortly foreclose on Sandford’s loan, with the operations then passing to G & C Hoskins. After George and Cecil Hoskins took over the Steel Works in 1908 the business began to thrive. In an attempt to make the local steel industry more viable, the Hoskins Brothers persuaded the government to pay a bounty for Australian produced steel. The Hoskins Brothers moved their operations from Rhodes in Sydney to Lithgow and began to make significant advancements. Lithgow was to become renown for its steel production, with thousands of tons of steel being produced for the Trans-Australia Railway. In the first year of production, the Steel Works treated 51,000 tons of ore and employed 632 people (Lithgow Public School 1947). By 1926 the steel furnaces had turned out 178,000 tons of ore, resulting in 105,000 tons of pig iron (Lithgow Public School 1947).
