A basalt quarry located 3 miles from Kyogle off the Murwillumbah Road and at the end of Quarry Road.
Located on Fairy Mount which is also in the parish of Fairy Mount.
The quarry has been fully rehabilitated and is now farmland on private property.
Some discussion on the quarry is in: https://www.mindat.org/mesg-607411.html
From Tony Forsyth: Many of the local mineral specimens have come from council quarries that the council has operated for well over 100 years. Probably the most prolific specimen quarry was Tindall's Quarry. The name has been mispelled in many places, but I believe this to be the correct spelling. The name was derived from the family whose property it was on. Previous to Tindall's it was called Chadburn's Quarry to further muddy the labelling. The quarry, (not surprisingly), is located on Quarry Road, Cawongla - a locality approx 9kms east of Kyogle on the Murwillumbah Road. I collected extensively in the 1990s/early 2000s. The quarry expanded to the lease boundaries and was closed down and rehabilitated by pushing dirt up to the top of the walls. No collecting is now possible.
From Keith Compton: Chadburn's is certainly all backfilled but some remnant basaltic rock outcrops (quarry walls) remain visible. The last official name of the quarry is Chadburn's Quarry and was operated as a source of road gravel from around 1952.
