An outcrop of coralline limestone can be found about 8km west of the former Ashford coal Mine, North of Ashford, New South Wales and not far from the Queensland border town of Texas, Queensland . Originally on a private property, the Ashford Limestone caves are now part of the Kwiambal National Park . A basic camping ground called 'Peach trees' is nearby (within a 10 km Radius) as are the Macintyre Falls. {Link without Title} The large arch-shaped opening was engineered as access to phosphate (guano) resources for use as fertilizer, which has been quite profitable. Prospects of mining limestone at this location have been explored, but dismissed as unviable. |
