At last, the story has commenced about Westland’s fascinating sawmills and bush tramways, with the first two books of a series covering sawmills and tramways of the Grey and Westland counties.  Ian Tibbles takes us on a journey through Stillwater, Coal Creek, the Grey district coalfield and lower Arnold Valley through to Kaimata, with these two books recording sawmills, associated bush tramways and some of the unique locos that powered them.  Learn also about the numerous mine, brickworks and sluicing company sawmills that supplied timber for pit props and fluming.

Note these books are limited print run and will not be available through retail bookstores.
