Statement of Significance
The Quarry (and others yet to be located) was an important source of easily worked stone when settlement of the Gingin Town site was in its early stages.
History
Hearsay evidence tells that the site was used as the source of stone for St Luke's Church and Philbeys Cottage Recent identification of a Quarry on SL 370 matches recorded descriptions of such a location but evidence is circumstantial unless testing of stone in that location and relevant buildings can be carried out. The origin of the term 'Casuarina' is unknown.
