In its heyday, Karridale Timber Station township was populated by 300 timber workers and their families and had a school and a hospital. The town declined in 1913, when the sawmill closed. In 1961 a fire destroyed most of the remaining buildings.15cm x 20cmphotographb&wimage/tiffen-AUThis image is provided for research purposes only and must not be reproduced without the prior permission of the Archives Program, Australian National UniversityIntercolonial Investment, Land and Building Co Ltd (1885- ); M C Davies Karri and Jarrah Co Ltd (1882-1902); Davies, Maurice Coleman (1835-1913); forest & timber workers; timber industry activities; horse teams; draughthorses; forests; eucalypts; men's clothing; hatsHauling logs, Karridale Timber Stationcopyright expired
