BULLARTO SOUTH SAWMILL - History
A sawmill was constructed deep into the forest in 1871 and operated until 1892 cutting an enormous amount of timber. A tramway connected it to the Daylesford Malmsbury Road and a tramway running south connected it to the Mount Wilson sawmills.Source: '..SiteCard data copied on 22/07/2024:A sawmill was constructed deep into the forest in 1871 and operated until 1892 cutting an enormous amount of timber.

This is the site of a former extensive sawmilling complex constructed in the 1870s and operating until 1892. Associated tramways ran from the Mill to the Daylesford Malmsbury Road and to Mount Wilson. A large sawdust pile dating from the 1870s remains, as well as some traces of the tram embankments, although large portions of these have been obliterated by cultivation. Historical evidence indicates the possibility of remains of a small building associated with the Mill, as well as a water race, although physical evidence of these have not been verified.
