SUGAR MILL TOUR ...... Queensland

The video was taped in Hi8 while we vacationed in Queensland in 2002.....apparently not in Bundaberg as the sub-titles depict.....and thanks to `Mark'..It has now been identified as `Farleigh Mill' in Mackay.

+villiers man .....Thanks for the observation `Villiers man' ....I think that with your comment and Lukes, I should change the itle and bow to greater knowledge. I apologise to all those who think they have been miss-led and in future, will try not to rely purely on memory....you've made an old man happy....kind regards Gordon

Villiers man, did you know Billy Jensen at all? He was a cane farmer at Kolan and also worked at Fairymead and Bingara mills aswell

Farleigh mill I think

[@odinzoltan]

Thanks for the info, Mark...If it is still there, I will look it up on Google and possibly recognise it from way-back ...`seems I am learning all the time'...Regards Gordon

[@odinzoltan]

My thanks Mark...I flew over it with `Google' and given the route from the Bruce Highway and the layout of the Plant..I would say that you have nailed it......It was indeed, the Farleigh Mill...... Thanks to you'r help, I have been able to identify the area travelled years ago and and learn more about it...........Regards Gordon
