STEEL RAIL TRAMWAY, GEMBROOK - History
Heritage Inventory History of Site: The Black Snake tramway was pioneered by the notable Gembrook sawmiller Bill Russell. Construction of the line began in 1923 and was completed in November 1926. Steel rails and steam traction were a feature of the line. The Black Snake area was milled until the early 1940s and represented the final era of large scale sawmilling in the forests around Gembrook.Heritage Inventory Description
