Cairns Plywood Pty Ltd Sawmill Complex, Heritage-listed industrial complex in Yungaburra, Australia.

The Cairns Plywood Sawmill Complex stands along Eacham Road, featuring multiple buildings dedicated to timber processing and plywood manufacturing operations.

Established in 1910 by the Williamson brothers, the sawmill expanded into plywood production in 1940 and operated until environmental restrictions in 1988.

The complex represents the timber industry development in Queensland, where over 100 tree species were processed for furniture and construction materials.

Visitors can observe remaining machinery near the old chimney stack location while reading informational panels explaining the industrial processes.

The facility combined both steam and electric operations in its timber processing methods, maintaining butter box production alongside plywood manufacturing until 1963.
