Statement of Significance

The Tynong quarry is significant to Victoria as the source of the granite used in the construction of the nationally known Shrine of Remembrance in the 1920s-30s and is locally important as a major stage in development of the stone-getting industry in the district. The quarry is early among the still recognisable quarries in the area and has great potential for further interpretation historically, given the physical integrity of the stone handling equipment, oral and extensive documentary evidence. The quarry also serves as a reminder of the local returned soldiers who worked there during the construction of the Shrine.
