I also have the privilege of showcasing a historically significant site. The Glen Davis Shale Oil Works, nestled in the picturesque Capertee Valley of New South Wales, Australia,
  • The Glen Davis Shale Oil Works was an ambitious shale oil extraction plant that aimed to produce petrol from shale. It played a pivotal role during World War II, as shale oil was considered a strategic resource.
  • The project was initiated for national defense purposes, but its roots trace back to the 1934 report of the Newnes Investigation Committee. This committee explored ways to reduce unemployment among miners in the region.
  • operated during the period 1938 until 1952.
I am looking to making the Glen Davis Shale works ruins more inclusive to all ages and abilities. Currently I can only run walking tours through the ruins, which is unsuitable for little children, elderly people, and those with limited mobility. We are focused on sustainable management and adopting energy efficient technologies to achieve this. More details to come, please leave your contact details if you want an update, when finalised.
