This one is from the old Perseverance mill near ravensbourne that is now defunct. It was small local mill that cut timber for 5O years or so. Johnny Ryan, 2nd from left is an old logger up here who I have learnt much stuff from.
The pic was taken about 20 years ago.

Did they cut anything other than eucalypts? From the road there looks to be a heap of rain forest around the area.
