Not Monarto

Hint # 2:

late 60's or early '70's part of the Granite outcrop was quarried (mined) for balast for the Adelaide - Melbourne railway line, there was a crushing plant set up next to the railway at the nearby town to crush the granite into balast.

You're getting further away now, but it does start with a M (the location, not the town it is near)

Hints so far

It is a conservation park
It's closer to Monarto & Meningie than Morialta
It Starts with a M, Mt M..........
Was used as a granite quarry/mine for balast for the Adelaide - Melb railway
Not Mt Magnificent

New Hints
When digging the quarry they broke through to water, it filled deep enough to jump off the quarry cliffs into the water (We swam in there regullary as kids but last I heard the water was no longer safe to swim in)

The previous photo that I took of Coonalpyn was taken about lunch time and was taken after these 2, I am now home in Adelaide
