Product Description
This is Edward McGaurr's sawpit in Medley Street, which supplied timber for the town. As the Sydney Morning Herald, 10 October 1872, noted:
In a week, as if by magic, stores, inns, theatres, shops, butcheries and bakeries - all the trading component parts of a large town arose; claims were marked out; windlasses swung; sawyers, splitters, labourers of all kinds, thronged the ground, and in a wonderfully short time many claims were 'on the gold', and 'all went merry as a marriage bell'
