East Pillinger was established at Kelly Basin on the shore of Macquarie Harbour by the North Mount Lyell Copper Company in the late 1800s. It served as a port and industrial hub and was connected by rail to the company’s mine at Linda, smelters at Crotty and a settlement at Darwin.

By 1898 hundreds of men were employed constructing the railway and company facilities. At East Pillinger these included three long wharves, a sawmill and brickworks, an ore crushing plant, a railway and shipping terminus, workers’ huts, a mess hall and company offices.

The population of East Pillinger peaked at about 600 in 1902.

All that remains now at East Pillinger are the ruins of three brick kilns, a jetty, two steam boilers, a railway carriage and the mess hall chimney.
