Jardee: The Mill That Cheated Time

by Doreen Owens

" The Mill that Cheated Time is a well written and lively account of life in a small town in the West Australian forest country. Doreen Owens, a local resident, draws on oral histories to construct a sympathetic portrait which focuses on the difficulties of the mill workers and local farmers in opening up the country and surviving two world wars and a depression. Despite the optimism of the title, time has emerged as the ultimate winner with the mill closing in 1993." - Kerry Evans
