A neat paper products mill in the erm 'interesting' town of Leslie, the place is well protected by 'Heavy Breathing in the Valley*' and once in we spent half the time dodging workers stripping the remaining assets of the paper mill, ready to be shipped abroad most likely.
Film shots to follow!
*Heavy Breathing in the valley was fromt the night before, Speed & Myself arrived late one winters evening, looking for somewhere to bed down for the night, thoguht it worthwwhile checking the papermill out, so we sauntered down the workers path to be greeted with a large camera following us, the tannoy crackled into life (theres a tannoy attached to every camera in the place).
At almost concert loud'ness surely waking most of the village of leslie....
"Your on private property, yes you two, your on private property, can you please leave, yes, the other wya, turn around, back up that path please"
the tannoy crackled back off.
as we turned we just laughed that our complelty obvious approach of walking into a site had not worked (though it often does!).
The tannoy crackled back online, but there was no voice, only the sound of the operator breathing.
the breathing became louder, and deeper, and more frequent, and more excited...
it both hit us at the same time just what it sounded like, a lone security guard, suddenly awoken by two young fellas patrolling HIS site, it must hav ebeen exciting for him.
the breathing was so loud on the tannoys MOST of th village could surely hear, we were both in Hysterics, I mean so bad we could hardly walk up the muddy track without falling in it. Thank you Mr Sec Unit, you made our day :D
We slept overnight in a smaler abandoned mill then set out early in the morning via a slgihtly less obvious route, and had relative sucess :P
Later the Nekoosa Paper Company became a part of the consolidation with the Port Edwards and South Centralia properties under the title of Nekoosa-Edwards Paper Co. June 5. 1908 of which the incorporators were Thos. E. Nash, C. F. Steele and L. M. Alexander.
Three years later Mr. Nash retired from active management because of ill health. His death occurred Dec. 15, 1917 thus closing the career of a very able man whose rise was phenomenal.
One thing that has always intrigued me about Papermill Falls are the indented jagged edges on the left side of the falls as seen in these 2 pictures.
This fascinating picture shows the grass sheds being constructed I well remember those riveted beams.
a point also this must have been very hard work using picks & shovels.
I dropped in at the the PaperMill (a local Artists Run Initiative) www.thepapermill.org.au/ for a sketching night. They had a large sheet of butchers paper on the table and ink and brush.
What is this series of sketches?? In the latest Ampersand magazine there is a series of ‘found photos’ by Erik Kessels, following one woman over several decades. In each photo, she’s holding the same pose, eying her target while staring down the barrel of her gun. Very strange - but I was very pleased with my inkk wash - my first attempt !

"Grove street , although the caption reads Herbertshire park local people will recognise Grove street where houses were for many years occupied by mill worker's families. Through the trees can be seen part of Herbertshire Castle.

This tree was moved from its original planting position as of Sept 2008 if you walk in the main gate about 30 metres look right among the mature trees. As mentioned in the title this tree was planted to commemorate 200 years of papermaking on the site.
If anyone can tell me the actual year
this was planted I would be grateful.
