Very rare engraving of Joadja Creek, New South Wales. Joadja Creek was a thriving mining town between 1870–1911. The town existed to mine oil shale from which kerosene was extracted by the Australian Kerosene Oil and Mineral Co. It was home for approximately 1,200 people, many of whom were skilled immigrants from Scotland. After managing for ten years using bullock teams for transport, a railway was allowed and was connected to the nearby town of Mittagong by a narrow gauge railway that terminated adjacent to the main Southern Railway line in Mittagong.
