Significance

A colour photograph of a log train that was used at a sawmill in Marysville in Victoria. The Log Train was originally in use at Anderson's Mill - Marysville. The original log came from a Messmate Stringy bark (Eucalyptus Obliqua), age 134 years; height 53.3 metres; felled in 1970 at Elliots Creek, Mt. Margaret. The volume of the log was 6,000 super feet. The original log was destroyed in the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires. This postcard was produced by Nucolorvue Productions as a souvenir of Marysville.
