History

McKenzie's wharf and sawmill were established by Hepburn McKenzie, a New South Wales timber merchant who took Turpentine (Satinay) and Brush Box from the Island.

The jetty marks the terminus of the rail line constructed to bring the logs down from the forests. The logs were milled into large slabs to be shipped to Sydney for further milling.

The mill closed in 1925 and the timber was then shipped by barge to Maryborough.

McKenzie's Jetty terminus was used until 1937 when motorised transport took over carrying timber to logging dumps spread along the west coast.
