In the 1860’s AH & A Brown purchased two blocks opposite Owanyilla and began clearing scrub in
late 1867, another 2 portions were added and the conversion of scrub into Antigua sugar plantation
began.
A mill was built in the early 1870’s ( the remains of the brick mill can be seen next door to River Run
Farm. The area under farm reached 200 hectares by 1878. By 1879 no prettier spectacle could be
wished for than the canefields of Antigua on either side of the river
Passengers of Cobb’s coach from Maryborough to Gympie could, when passing through Owanyilla
village, by glancing up the river to their right obtain a glimpse of the Antigua mill and residence
which stood on a high sloping bank of the Mary River, the tall slim smoke stack being sufficient to
indicate the exact site, the main mill building was 34 metres long
There was a tramway used to descend at an angle of 60 degrees by which the sugar was received by
punts belonging to a firm who received it. The advantage of the extensive river frontage was apparent.
By conveying the cane to the mill by punt the expense of maintaining roads substantial enough to
endure the heavy strain of the crushing season.
Antigua Today:
Over the ensuing years industry & amp; state growth went through many ups & downs, many cane fields
closed down & other industries grew. From those times & still successful are cane farms, quarry ,sawmill and cattle farming plus smaller acreage farm holdings.
River Run Farm
There has an abundance of wildlife in the area, the variety of bird life is amazing. There are pretty face
wallabies, frilled neck lizards, water dragons,Bandicoots, achidna's & platypus
The Mary River is famous for the endangered Mary River Turtle also short neck turtles such as the
White Throated Snapping Turtle, Saw Shell Turtle and then long necked
turtles, the Eastern Long Neck & Broad-shelled river turtle
Another Nationally threatened species in the river is the Australian Lungfish.
