Big Timber Country presents the history of the timber industry in southwest Australia.
At the beginning of the 20th Century, Western Australian timbers were used worldwide as paving blocks, railway sleepers, in shipbuilding and jetty constructions. It took many decades before the government recognised the need to control timber cutting.
The people involved in the industry including the fallers, pit-sawers, mill owners and their families are also discussed by Mary Calder.
