Inside the Number Six Raw Mill at Kandos Cement Works, rusted machinery stands silent. Concrete dust coats every surface. Light filters through broken windows, illuminating the vast industrial space.
Read the story behind this series →Size Guide
A ball mill sits heavy in the half-light, its riveted steel drum tilted toward the wet concrete floor. Hundreds of grinding balls have spilled from the open end, forming a dark mound that spreads across the ground. Steel gantries and mesh walkways crowd the space above. Water pools on the floor, reflecting dull grey from the structure overhead. Orange spray-paint marks the concrete pillars. Everything carries a film ofite dust. Kandos Cement Works operated in the New South Wales Central Tablelands from 1915 until its closure in 2011. The Number Six Raw Mill crushed limestone and clay into fine powder for kiln feed. Steel balls inside the rotating drum ground raw material through sheer impact and weight. Nearly a century of cement production ended when the plant became unviable against cheaper coastal imports.
