Federal Mill Camping Area

New Federal Mill dominated the sawmilling industry in the Warburton area for almost 15 years. Its closure in 1949 signalled the end of the timber tramway era. Federal Mill can only be reached via foot from the Ada Tree Walk along Federal Road or from the Walk into History. By Vehicle, take directions to the Ada Tree Picnic Area. Once there, walk along Federal Road (also disabled access to the Ada Tree) for approximately 1km. turn left, following signage to the Federal Mill site. After 1km, you will reach the historical mill site. At this point, you can continue along the walk into history heading westward or head north for approximately 1.6km to continue to the Ada Tree, returning to the car park. From the western end, Federal Mill can be reached by walking east for 2.2km from the tramway crossroads on the Walk Into History, passing an impressive partially collapsed tramway bridge on-route.
