This book traces the development of the methods and machines used to harvest the forests of Western Australia over the last 150 years, from the first settlement to the present day, from horse and steam power to modern mechanical harvesters.
It describes the bush workings and logging operations that underpinned WA's sawmilling industry, once the state's third-largest industry behind wheat and wool.
It is also a tribute to the skill and innovation of the bushmen and engineers who brought about the changes and designed and built those weird and wonderful machines unique to the industry and this part of the world.
More than one hundred photographs are included.
