We went to Hobart today to catch up with two members of our family. As we had left earlier than we had planned, we had time to go to Boyer. The published coordinates were well within the boundaries of the paper mill and well away from public access. However the marker was quickly located outside reception, the coordinates being S42 46.684 E147 06.152. The Engineering Heritage National Landmark plaque was located near the entrance to Reception and instead of the usual plaque, there was detailed information about the history of the Boyer Mill and its engineering significance. Coming here today had special significance for us as two of our children had worked for Norske Skog as chemists, one in production and the other in a research role. A composite photo with two images has been added to the Gallery: a close view of the plaque (with our GPS); and Mrs y'stassie with the plaque and the "Boyer Story" information.

Rated: for Overall Experience.
