Historical information

When the 2 feet 6 inch gauge railway opened to Gembrook in 1900, timber milling became an important industry in the forest to its east. At least sixty sawmill sites were worked, and for some time sawmilling was the largest single employer in the area.
A network of tramways extended to the east and north of the town. This book covers the history of the tramways and of the saw mills and the people that worked in the industry or lived in the bush at the mills.
