Mt Lyell Lookout

Mt Lyell Lookout
Lookout over the former pit of the Mt Lyell mine in Tasmania. Fumes from mining and processing operations have devastated the landscape, stripping it of most vegetation and the high rainfall removing the topsoil. Happy Fence Friday!

Always surprising to hear about this kind of damage in Tasmania. Impressive structure, great pov.

Thank you, Gillian. Yes, mining can leave an awful mess and unfortunately the west of Tassie has substantial mineral deposits - mining still continues near here, but underground.
