Description: Chillagoe Company's dam and pumping station, Chillagoe, North Queensland, ca. 1910. Chillagoe is located 140km west of Mareeba on the Atherton Tablelands. In 1901 a huge copper smelter was built to take advantage of the rich mineral deposits in the Chillagoe area, and created 200 jobs. A railway to Mareeba facilitated the transport of the copper to coastal shipping ports. By World War One, Chillagoe was one of the largest metallurgical developments in Queensland. Part of the Willmett's postcard series no. 47.
