Did you know that the timber for the "old" Hornibrook Highway Bridge at Redcliffe was cut from timber from the Conondale Range area.

This timber was cut at a steam driven saw mill that is still operated by the Green Family at Conondale.   The vehicle now parked in the garden of Ross Hopper's Towing was use to tow timber down to the mill for that bridge.

Believed to be in the 1940's in the North Maleny Area.
