During the timber era, bullock teams navigated muddy terrain, with their strong and
dependable animals working hard to transport massive logs from the depths of the
forest.
Timber tramways conveyed logs from deep gullies to the main railway using high-lead
winches. This system supported the animals and drivers who hauled timber before the
advent of safe mechanisation.
This stands as a testament to the hard work and perseverance of those in the logging
industry. This period marked the shift from traditional animal power to high-lead steam
logging, signalling a new chapter in timber extraction and illustrating the ongoing
evolution of logging methods in an ever-changing landscape.
