For the whole of these sixteen years sawmills were cutting through heavy bush whore to-day is some of the best pasture land in this district. Motor cars are to-day running on roads where bullocks strained almost thigh deep to pull the heavy logs to the tramways for transportation; concrete bridges have taken the of wire hung suspension bridges and macadam roads have replaced the wooden tramrails.
