Australia's Tallest Industrial Chimney
Until a few years ago, the Port Kembla Primary school was located next to the chimney. The school was fitted with alarms and sensors to warn the teachers and students of toxic gas levels.

how tall is that chimney?Thu Aug 03 08:19:47 -0700 2006 From: AndreaBT
Not tall enough, apparently, if they had to arm the school with sensors!Thu Aug 03 19:59:17 -0700 2006 From: Shadrack
This chimney is 198 metres and was the tallest chimney in Australia when completed in 1965. The school was right next door, just over the fence. The place was covered in soot and ash and apparently acid rain. The Department of Education finally closed the school a few years back. One of my sisters was on staff here in the mid 1970's as a school teacher.Thu Aug 03 21:05:49 -0700 2006 |
