The history covers the period from 1869 when the idea of a mill in the Omakau area was first mooted, through to 1966 when the mill site became the headquarters of a weedspraying business. The narrative details the changing ownership of the mill, the local personalities involved in the running the business and the commerical transactions surrounding it.
