Brockman Saw Pits

I recall as a boy climbing in the saw pits with the old style saw embedded in the log. Not much has changed with the exception of the fence (and keep out sign), plenty of overgrowth and the pits filling in somewhat.


The Brockman saw pits are located just off the main road just out of Pemberton on route to Northcliffe in the south west karri forests of Western Australia.


It isn't worth the trip out of town to only see the saw pits, driving between Pemberton and Northcliffe makes the short trip down the gravel road worthwhile though. Although November, it was raining constantly throughout the day after a big low pressure system blew in across the south of the state, made a huge contrast from two days before and I actually liked the rain.

  1. Stand by the pits, and imagine, the hardship of working up to your ankles in mud , with a hesian bag over your head, for 10 hours a day
    now complain about how hard your job is.
