 Timber from the mill was transported by rail to nearby Hamelin Bay where Davies had built a jetty to support his milling operations.A second jetty at Flinders Bay to the south supported the shipping operations when the weather was unsuited for loading on the west facing coastline.A major storm in 1900 which destroyed the Hamelin Bay jetty as well as a downturn in demand for timber in the early 1900s meant that the industry went into decline and the last mill was closed in 1913.
