Tom Arup – In its heyday, the town of Cann River in the far east of Victoria was home to seven sawmills. But now just one remains .
Bob Humphreys, 70, has run it for 43 years. As a boy he spent school holidays working at the mill.
In all that time no changes have been as dramatic as those which have buffeted the industry in the past five years.
‘‘Our critical mass has shrunk to such an extent that sooner or later it will no longer be viable. And we’re rapidly approaching that point, I reckon,’’ Humphreys says.
