Story
About this place
The integrated steelworks opened at Whyalla in 1965, a generation after the 1941 blast furnace. This is No.2 furnace as it stood in 2007, under OneSteel, with the works railway crossing in the foreground. The ore still came from the Middleback Range. The photograph is modern; the plant is the descendant of the Iron Knob trade.
