Hi were there any sawmills operating east of Perth in connection with the railway and the goldfields between 1900 and 1915 or the beginning of the 20th century? Thanks.Nick.

Hi Nick, apologies that we missed replying to this comment a while ago. We've just heard back from our curator who thinks that you would be best to contact the Western Australian Museum with your query. They also have a Discovery Centre (not affiliated with us) and can be contacted at discovery@museum.wa.gov.au
