Geocache Description:


In the 1850s the three-storey Randell Mill was built in the town of Blumberg (now Birdwood). The adjoining four-storey Peerless Roller Mill was built in 1888, producing premium quality superfine flour. Electricity replaced the original Watt steam engine in the 1930s but the striking chimney was retained. By the late 1940s the Mill ceased production, replaced by newer and larger flour mills at Port Adelaide. The machinery was sold for scrap and the building abandoned.
