An interesting spot to stop and rest on your journey, while your
there check out the localy made objects or even some of the listed
attractions. Container is a small plastic sistema with a log book,
pen & a few small swaps.
Nyrstar Port Pirie otherwise known as the “Smelters” is the major
player in the region and has become very involved in the local
community. They donated the large iron objects to the local council
as an attraction to the rest stop and information bay that you will
see at GZ.
Visitors can celebrate Port Pirie’s industrial success with a
tour of the world’s largest lead smelter – an expansive facility
that continues to dominate the city skyline. Tours run on Monday,
Wednesdays, Fridays and bookings can be made at the Port Pirie
Tourism and Arts Centre, 3 Mary Elie St. Port Pirie or phone 08
8633 8700.
The Annual Smelter's Picnic started over 100 years ago in 1903
when a group of employees from Port Pirie's lead smelter decided
they needed a get together.
Since then the smelter, which is the town's largest employer,
and local businesses have been having a public holiday for their
town, once a year, to say thank you to all the people who have
supported the smelter.
The highest community priority of Nyrstar Port Pirie is to
reduce the levels of lead present in blood, with a focus on
children between 0-4 years. The Smelter's goal is to work to
achieve at least 95% of children in this age group to have a blood
level below 10µg/dL by the end of 2010 - or the ten by 10 project
as it has become known. While this project was initially an
initiative of the Smelter, the lead in blood issue is an all of
community issue, and as such, other key stakeholders have joined
together to jointly own the project. These stakeholders are the
Environmental Health Service, the Environmental Protection
Authority, the Port Pirie Regional Council and the SA Department of
Health.

A quick easy find to drop off a travel bug. The heat really hit me when i got out of an air conditioned car. Beware with summer about to hit i believe this is a good chance to warn of snakes as there is a snake skin in with this cache. The skin is only about 40cm long but they do grow bigger. will attach photos when i work out how.TFTC
