Seaward Moss Sawmill (Bird Brothers, proprietors), Seaward Moss. This mill is situated within a short distance of Woodend, on the Seaward Moss Road. The mill was started about the end of 1903, and cutting rights are held which are calculated to give from four to five years' work. The plant consists of a twelve-horse power engine, six-horse power hauling engine, two saw-benches, a planing machine, and the other customary machinery. Horses are used for hauling the logs out of the bush. About fourteen persons are employed, and the output is about 4,000 feet per day.
