The Kangaroo Valley Historical Society is collecting information on the timber Industry and sawmilling, in the past, within the Kangaroo Valley area. We have a very keen young man seeking this information. You never know, there may be a book in the future.
Graham Russell, a past resident of the Valley, has provided the information below showing some of the Sawmills that took timber out of the Valley from 1920 to 1970.
