Kenworthy’s Stamper Mill

Waratah’s pioneering past represents a big part in Tasmania’s mining and economic history, made all the more captivating by its remote and wild environment.

Kenworthy’s Stamper Mill was relocated from Mt Bischoff to the centre of town, next door to the Tarkine Interpretation Centre-Atheaneum Hall - it is an impressive display of working machinery. Dudley Kenworthy was a local character who continued prospecting for tin near Mount Bischoff mine after it closed in the 1940s.
