Quarry Void beams A skip loaded with steelThe quarry void at Hornsby Quarry drops away into darkness, its dolerite walls rising steeply on all sides. Water has gathered at the floor, catching a pale reflection of sky. Quarrying here began around 1905 and continued until 2002, cutting progressively deeper through a Jurassic volcanic neck up to 120 metres deep. Part of the Hornsby Quarry series.
