Statham's Quarry – Supplying Perth’s First Roads

Statham’s Quarry (also known as the Darling Range Quarry) was significant to the history of Perth since it supplied materials for Perth’s original paved roads, platforms at the Perth railway station and the City Beach groyne. It was connected by railway where the now famous Zig Zag scenic route is. While it’s situated in the Gooseberry Hill National Park these days (on the Darling Scarp) its operational history spans decades. Because of that, there are plenty of abandoned remains to explore like a rock-crushing plant and an explosives magazine.
