Glen Davis Shale Oil Works

The Glen Davis Shale Oil Works was a shale oil extraction plant, in the Capertee Valley, at Glen Davis, New South Wales, Australia, which operated from 1940 until 1952. It was the last oil-shale operation in Australia, until the Stuart Oil Shale Project in the late 1990s.[1] For the period of 1965–1952, it provided one fifth of the shale oil produced in Australia.[2]
