Plane Creek Sugar Mill

It was owned and operated by the Plane Creek Central Mill Company Limited.

[1] In 1925, a factory was built next to the mill to process the molasses produced by the sugar refining into ethanol.

Ted Theodore, the Queensland Premier, hoped to use the ethanol as a motor fuel.

[1] In the 1920s, construction of the North Coast railway line enabled sugar cane to be transported to the mill from a more widespread area, as far south as Flaggy Rock.
