 | | Early industries included dairying, wheat-growing (destroyed when 'rust' hit the south coast in the 1860s), pig-rearing, honey, maize and vegetable-cultivation, a tannery works at Millards Creek and the mining of silica and quartzite which was loaded on a wharf at Bannister Point and shipped out for usage in the furnaces at Newcastle. |
 | | Today Milton is an attractive township (done out in the inevitable heritage colours) which entices the traveller with a range of gift shops, cafes, antiques and craft outlets. |
 | | On the same side of the highway but closer to Milton are 'Narrawilly' (built in the 1870s by John Miller,who struck it rich in the Bendigo goldrush, and occupied by his great great grandson) and 'Whoppindally' (1866), again erected by Poole, this time for another Kendall (Thomas). |
