Black Powder Mill Open Day

The Friends of the Black Powder Mill will explain the milling process, and the work that was carried out on the former Albion Explosives Factory site. This site was important in defence manufacturing during and after World War II.
It’s a reminder of the thousands of men and women who worked in the munitions industry in Melbourne’s west, and of factories that have almost disappeared.

Discover the rich history of the site with a tour of the Mill followed by morning tea with the Friends of the Black Powder Mill.
