Thread: hall of fame or museum

Biggest one I know of is called Timbertown west of Port Macquaire at Wauchope

peter, so far i haven't heard of one. but i would be interested to help set something up. my family started woodcutting in the early 20's and when you mention pit cutting i had a chuckle, the old man being the youngest brother,spent the day in the pit,till he found someone else to do it. anyway i have a small quantity of pics i could donate to a library regards charlsie

Crist where would you start every state would have to contribute red gum sleeper cutters in NSW and VIC soldier settlers in all states ,farmer miller s from all states the Jarrah cutters from WA Hell I sure south Aussies might have contributed too at some stage and theses days Qld s Hardwood is huge as well as in the past Tassies wood chip mills It would be a momoth thing. Some one should ask Kruddy for it just dont let Garret isulate it

There is a timber museum near gympie or close to it somewheres down there, on the Bruce Hway, was a saw mill in days gone by, has pics and video of how it used to be done, displays of gear used for the time, just googled it http://www.woodworksmuseum.com.au

Pete, the woodworks museum has a 4 day thing coming up next month, running it in conjunction with two of our other main tourist things, the Mary Valley Rattler steam train and the Gold Mining Museum - they are calling it the Ultimate Steam Festival. They'll have a portable milling competition going on too
