Airly Cableway
|
Maps: LPI Glen Alice 89314N GR: 226 345 - 226 343 Track Notes: Comments: The cableway at Airly runs from a point near the winding engine & boiler, south, up the steep slope & past the cliff line to the plateau above. Relics from the cableway at the cliff top include a large wheel, rollers, brackets, tram track & gondola ends. There are a number of cables running the length of the cableway. These include the bearer and 4 smaller cables. In places the cables have eroded gaps in the rocks they pass. The reason for the cableway is unknown. There was a well built tram way or road behind the relics as well as evidence of mining activity. |
