Callington Mill, Stone windmill in Oatlands, Tasmania

Callington Mill is a cylindrical stone structure in Oatlands topped with a white dome and four large blades that drive the grinding mechanism. Inside, multiple floors contain the machinery that converted grain into flour during operation.

John Vincent, a Cornish-born former innkeeper, built the Lincolnshire-style tower mill in 1837 and advertised its opening that year. His son John Jubilee Vincent bought it around 1840 and added a steam engine in 1846; Thomas Jillett then owned it from 1853 and John Bradshaw from 1863, fitting a silk dressing machine in 1870 and a Boddington stone in 1873. After decades of disuse it was restored in 2021 to full working order.

The mill is not named after its builder, John Vincent, but after Callington in Cornwall, his home county. Traditional baker and blacksmith Alan Scott was a central figure in its revival. Visitors can climb the internal stairs for a view across Oatlands and the surrounding area.

The mill stands in the centre of Oatlands, where the site also holds a granary, stable, miller's cottage and the mill owner's house. Visitors can climb the internal stairs for a view over the town and surrounding countryside. Allow time to move through the floors and machinery at an unhurried pace.

The mill demonstrates how wind turns four blades that power a complete grain-to-flour system through connected gears and grinding stones. This working example of a particular milling design is exceptionally rare in the Southern Hemisphere.
