Description

The Miranui Flaxmill was owned by A & L Seifert Company Ltd, and opened in 1907. This 5 ton locomotive crosses the bridge over the Tokomaru Stream as it brings green flax to the mill. The mill was about half a mile away to the left of the photograph and the swamp to the right. The locomotive did not prove successful on swamp ground and was replaced by horses.
