Historical information
The Tabbara Sawmill was located at Brodribb River, at the lower Snowy River estuary. In the early 1900’s bow saws and broad axes were used to selectively log the forest. Ox driven carts pulled the logs to the Snowy River; the logs were floated downstream to the steam powered mill. The
PS Curlip steamboat, transported the timber to growing townships, for schools, houses and farms. The mill closed in 1903.
