Original - The Otway Mill
In 1918 my grandfather, a saw-miller in the Otway Ranges, was killed when a load of logs broke free and crushed him as he was thrown from his horse. The local newspaper records that the horse escaped without a scratch! His death left my father and aunt, both just toddlers, to be raised by my grandmother.
The Otway mill is also where grandfather milled the beautiful Blackwood timber that has gone into my Otway Mill acoustic guitar, so I have a special connection with the mill. Go to http://soundcloud.com/edrobins47/otway-mill
