Adam's Sawmill has been owned and operated by Kerr Adam and his family for almost 30 years. Kerr has a long history in sawmilling, originally cutting railway sleepers for the Victorian Railways from the late 1960s to the early 80s. In 1984 Kerr moved to Coffs Harbour. When an established sawmill, in Bonville, was placed on the market the urge to re-enter the timber industry was too hard to resist.
