Johnston's Sawmill Steam Plant, Steam plant remnants in Mount Molloy, Australia
The Johnston's Sawmill Steam Plant includes a brick-encased Stirling water tube boiler, Marshall steam engine, and Walkers steam winch at Santowski Crescent.
Built in 1914, the steam plant operated until 1963, supporting local timber production and providing employment opportunities for Mount Molloy residents after copper mining declined.
The industrial machinery at Johnston's Sawmill Steam Plant represents early 20th-century technological advancements in Queensland's timber processing methods and workforce practices.
The steam plant remnants stand on elevated ground at the intersection of Santowski Crescent and Peninsular Development Road, making them visible to visitors.
The Stirling water-tube boiler and Marshall steam engine at this location are among the final remaining examples of such machinery in Queensland.
