Hi Caroline I do have a booklet that was produced by the Lake View and Star which will check. I don’t think I have any photos of the houses and pool as this is a little too recent for my collection but I’m sure other may have ones so I will ask if the book doesn’t come up with anything.

My father was a metallurgist on the Lake View and Star gold mine until his death in July 1975. Our family lived on the mining lease and I am interested in finding any photos of the area pre open pit period. All families on staff were provided with lovely houses and we were also lucky enough to have a communal swimming pool for the staff and families to enjoy (much to the envy of the other mining company children) I would be very grateful for any photos you may have or if you know of any books written on life on the lease.

Regards
Caroline Quadrio
