The Old Mill, Historic windmill in South Perth, Australia

The Old Mill stands as a tower structure made of stone on Mill Point, featuring wooden cogwheels crafted from local tuart timber weighing four tons.

William Kernot Shenton established this windmill in 1835 with Governor James Stirling laying the foundation stone for the first wind-powered industry in the colony.

The mill evolved from a flour production facility to serve multiple purposes, including time as a hotel, residence, wine saloon, and poultry farm.

The Education Centre within the Old Mill accommodates various group visits with different pricing structures based on group classifications and requirements.

The planned route of the Narrows Bridge in 1957 underwent modification specifically to preserve this historical structure for future generations.
