    By: Dr David Cameron9th Sep 2021 7:08AMThis is a view looking west over the former drogher loading wharf and timber breakwall at the site of the Hudson Brothers Narani sawmill (1873-1907). The log hearts offcuts were used to build a timber breakwall located at 'Hearts Point' on the northernmost shore of Myall Lake at the Neranie Day Use Area, Myall Lake National Park. The shallow water of the lake becomes very choppy in windy conditions so the waste hearts from milling the logs were used to build and extend a breakwall (centre background protruding out into the lake) from the shore at the western end of the sawmill site with the drogher loading wharf (centre foreground) situated on the north-east side of the breakwall adjacent to the mill. From here the sawn timber was transported by steam drogher down the Myall Lakes and through Port Stephens to be used at Hudson Brothers carriage and engineering works at Wickham (Newcastle) and Sydney.
