Thanks to Gerard Beeson for allowing me to film this awesome piece of history. A link to the Endeans sawmill website is at the bottom of this description.

Endean's Mill is an historic native sawmill situated on Ongarue Stream Road, Waimiha. The last remaining standing native sawmill in the region.

Non-operational for over 20 years the sawmill and most of its surrounding infrastructure still remains intact.

Across the property lies an assortment of tram lines and bogies, vehicles, drying sheds, mill worker houses and stacked processed native timber. There is also the steam engine that originally powered the mill.

The mill was originally located in Matiere , and when timber supply in that region was exhausted in 1927 it was moved to its current location in Waimiha.

There is plenty more history relating to this site, come and visit to find out more.
