Some remnants of the former track remain today, and are listed on the Surf Coast Shire's heritage inventory.

A second company was formed to build a tramway to the Forrest railway line in September 1898, but it went into liquidation by March 1899.

Its reopening in 1991 by owner Erwin Babington saw the sawmill operate largely for tourist purposes, as both an indoor and outdoor museum with working demonstrations and guided tours.

The museum no longer operates, but the site is locally heritage listed for its status as one of the few surviving mills in the area, and for its relatively intact complex of residential and industrial buildings and machinery.

Its advocates argued that it would open up excellent new timber country and revitalise the dormant coal industry.
