History

Pit sawing was conducted in the Ironstone Forest area. Timber milling commenced around 1910 and expanded the timber industry which had until that time relied on sleeper cutting. The railway was used to transport the timber to Dardanup. The timber milling industry also resulted in secondary benefits accruing to rural industry in the district by virtue of the fact that large quantities of chaff were required to feed the horses hauling timber to the mills.’ It is presumed that Taunton vale was established as a Horse stud to support the growing timber industry which needed horses for haulage and maintained its sustainability with the use of chaff from the local timber industry.
