Description
Abandoned steam machinery which belonged to Val McGuinness and was intended to be used by him at a mine at Southport. McGuinness broke a tooth on the wheel (shown at right). He obtained a replacement tooth and was advised to dynamite the old tooth from the wheel. He accidentally blew out too much of the wheel. However the engine was operative for a time subsequently. Located near Darwin River, near old Southport Road.,
