Delivery of logs to Koondrook sawmill
Delivery of logs to Koondrook sawmill, with a man standing on an outrigger barge carrying logs to the mill. Outrigger barges had large slender logs laid across them, extending over the side 2 - 3 metres and it was from these outriggers that the mill logs were suspended in the water, the water taking quite a lot of the weight of the logs, the outriggers taking some of the weight and holding the logs alongside the barge. The barges were then drifted downstream to the mill, to be taken in tow and moved to near the mill when they arrived. Two or three men manned the outrigger barges, armed with long poles to push off snags and the like. The barges dragged heavy chains to keep them in the main channel of the river. They had no rudders.
