Pit Sawing at Barambah Aboriginal Settlement 1908
The settlement had two saw pits, one is near the cemetery and the other is where the sawmill will be established. Saw pits are simply large holes dug in the ground over which logs are be suspended, two men, one below in the pit and another on top, use a cross-cut saw to cut the logs into usable timber.
Some of the Barambah residents who work in these pits include Fred and Jim Charleville, Pompei Hatton, Christmas and Tom Button.
