Comments on Sugar Cane Milltag:ipernity.com,2024-03-19:comments/doc-38557414http://cdn.ipernity.com/p/101/D3/F4/324819.buddy.jpgDay 2 2012 Road Trip to Sydney from Queensland. Pacific Highway. South Ballina to Old Bar via Nambucca Heads and Lighthouse Beach, Port Macquarie, New South Wales. Broadwater is a small town in the Richmond Valley local government area, in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia. In 2006, the town had a population of 463 people. It is on the Pacific Highway. The history of Broadwater has largely revolved around its sugar mill. In 1863 Henry Cook and Alexander MacDonald became the first people to select land in the area. To begin with, sugar was grown and crushed on the small private farms in the region. The Colonial Sugar Refining Company (CSR) opened the town's sugar mill in 1880. In the early days sugar cane was grown as far up the Richmond River as the town of Bexhill and was carried to the mill on punts. In 1978 CSR sold the mill to the newly formed New South Wales Sugar Milling Cooperative, which established its head office at Broadwater. Today Broadwater is the centre of the region's highly mechanised sugar industry, which is still a major employer. In recent years the area has also seen an influx of new settlers, attracted by its peaceful rural lifestyle. Wikipedia TSC Through the car window. "Forest Gump" photography. Why Forest Gump..

I was amazed at all the sugar fields when I was there. I suppose that the factories needed to be nearby, but I never saw them.

Always a pleasure to read the history behind a photograph. Great shots of the sugar cane mill .. the mono version gives it a vintage feel.:)
