KIRCHHUBEL'S MILL - History
Heritage Inventory History of Site: H Kirchhubel relocated his mill from Moondarra to the western Tanjil Valley as part of the Forest Commission's salvage operation. A combination steel/wooden branch of the tramline was constructed to the mill. This was the last mill to operate in the Tanjil Bren area, closing in 1952. The mill's equipment included a large lathe which was used to repair equipment for the Tanjil Haulage Co. which operated the main steel tramway to Tanjil Bren.Heritage Inventory Description
