Thank you for the video. I particularly appreciate that the comments and information from different people in the group were included. The wonderful thing about bringing up conversations about local history is that you never know who might have details and knowledge to share
As we were filming, a local told us the traffic circle at the Chinchilla end might have been there as late as the 60s or 70s. Our member Ron after seeing this told us he grew up in the area and there definately was no circle there in the 50s or later.
Thank you for the comment and acknowledging the importance of the beam. There are a number of them along the crik. We have also found other large historic structures that would take a developer or contractor with heavy equipment to save. There is so much about this area we still don't know. I've done a lot of research but I think a professional or dedicated amateur could find out much more. There are some limits to the internet and sit at home research.
You're probably right because there was a dam near the part of the creek we showed you by the state store. We found out later some of the beams were also part of the old plank toll road. There are a number of these along the creek.

Thank you for the comment. They each were all local history experts in different areas. I learned a lot from them.

Thanks for posting, very interesting the area needs some more research. The hand hewen beam is a valuable piece of the Notch History. Tony Z JTHS

10:40 that hand hewn beam and those planks probably were part of a dam. Those stone headers on the creek bank were probably were is stood
