Adelaide Lead - Trompf's Battery Site
Trompf's Amalgamated mine operated here from the late 19th century. The site has the remains of a loading ramp for a stamp battery, open cut workings and a large (but dry) dam ad tailings pond. It is located in the Paddys Ranges State Park.
Location - Paddy Ranges Track leads to the south from the Pyrenees Highway towards Karri Dam. The battery site is about 450m north of Karri Dam, a short distance to the east of the track. The distance from the Highway to the dam is about 2.3km.
Be on the lookout for a sign along Paddys Ranges Track which says "Trompf's Amalgamated O. M. Co.". This is the site of the Trompf's Mine. The battery site is another 400m south.
