This colourful publication, prepared with the assistance of the local extractive and commercial minerals industry, depicts how current South Australian surface mines and quarries are being designed to acceptable environmental standards. A readily seen example, the ongoing rehabilitation of Stonyfell quarry, illustrates the progress being made in redesigning Adelaide's Hills Face Zone quarries. Examples of the uses to which abandoned operations can be put are given. Illustrations, photographs and simple diagrams with brief captions enhance this publication, which is ideal for publicity purposes.
