Steel Frame Type:Unframed Blue Morning Ranges at AustraliaA rusted steel frame lies in the paddock beside the former manager's office at Elrington Colliery, near Abernethy in the Hunter Valley. The mine closed in December 1962; BHP opened an engineering works on the same site in June 1964. Surface equipment left in the surrounding paddocks has been deteriorating ever since. Part of the Elrington Colliery series.
