In the forestry industry, they functioned as essential transport hubs where timber,<br \/>moved by tramway or truck from the forests, was transferred onto mainline trains for<br \/>delivery to markets or other mills. Built to a 3-foot gauge, these tramways were<br \/>established by individual sawmills and operated using horse-drawn wagons or steam<br \/>winches.<br \/>There are about 446 sawmill sites and approximately 1,247 km of tramline shown: This<br \/>map is based on information from Mike McCarthy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;In the 1920s, it was theoretically possible to travel by tramway between Warburton,Powelltown, Gembrook, Noojee, and Longwarry!&#8221; &#8211; M.
