Story
About this place
Isis Central Mill near Childers began crushing in the 1890s as a grower-backed central mill for the Isis cane lands. A Queensland State Archives photograph dated 17 September 1896 shows cane trucks at the young plant. Still grower-owned in 2026, Isis sought state loan support during a difficult crush — Australia’s last major grower-owned mill.
