My g-grandfather, Andrew Bell, third from the left in the back row in the fourth photo.

The book on the Ogilvie family sawmill operation is well worth reading. It contains these photos and many others. The book was published by JF Ogilvie in 2014. I contacted a family member and managed to get a copy. If out of print and unable to be purchased local libraries should have a copy.

Ian Tennent
Ogilvies had 2 diesel railcars to take men into the bush..They also had a total of 7 steam locomotives , which ran on about 60km of tram line, (the longest in the Southern Hemisphere)
