Summary

Bridgewater Mill, side view showing the water wheel. Miller John Dunn built the mill in 1859. The mill stone is known as Old Rumbler. In the latter half of the 19th Century the manufacture of flour was one of South Australia's earliest successful industries. Flour from Bridgewater Mill was transported all over Australia. The wheel ground to a halt in 1942 when a pinion broke.
