Mornington Mills

Mornington Mills, also known as Mornington, is the site of former timber saw mills and a community on the Darling Range in Western Australia. It was part of the operations of Millars Karri and Jarrah Forests Limited.

The Millars timber railway system covered an extensive area east of Mornington.[1][2] It is east of the South Western Highway and South Western railway line, south of Wokalup and north of Benger.

The remains of the community, railway line and the former saw mills have been regularly researched and written about.[3][4][5][6]
