Singletons Mill on the Hawkesbury River, c 1900

    This is the derelict mill of James Singleton (1777-1849) which was demolished in the early 1900s after milling declined from 1870. Being on a tidal river it required a slightly different method in powering the 5M diameter water wheel than the usual water rushing past the wheel through a diversion channel or 'race'. A dam was filled by the rising tide, the inlet valve was closed at high water & on the falling tide the stored water was released through the mill race to turn the wheel.

    That description in the Sydney Mail article wins The Purple Prose of the Year Award 1882 ! " ... Immediately it streams over the ledge it is divided into spray for which only feeble comparisons exist. Gossamer, lace, and down are alternately suggested as similarities, but neither conveys an adequate idea of the appearance of the fall as, swayed by the action of the breeze, it assumes the most fantastic forms. At a short distance it looks something like an undulating film of gossamer, then like a cloud of tiny feathers, until it changes into a ribbon of lace of constantly varying patterns. Millions of tiny spray drops fall gently downwards, and the imagination converts them into a shower of pearls while the clouds intercept the rays of the sun, and when these break forth again the visitor conceives himself to be gazing on a stream of diamond dust. ... ...

    On second thought it is Fitzroy, because you can see the lookout in the very top on the frame on this one, taken in 1925 www.flickr.com/photos/kipnewing/4041705091/in/set-7215762...
