Summary

Old mill, Currency Creek worked by Daniel Myrrick in 1863. According to local legend an illicit still was at one time operated in an underground chamber. The mill has alternatively been referred to as Myrick's Mill or Claughton's Mill. Daniel Myrick was seen at Currency Creek or Goolwa by 1855 whereas Daniel Merrett's family are said to have arrived in Goolwa in 1862. Both were involved in ship building. The mill later became a steam driven sawmill. Daniel Myrick has been listed as a carpenter as well as a ship builder. The mill produced flour from wheat in 1868 and that was loaded onto steamers on the nearby Lower Murray.
