What is a Whim?

The Whim was used for log haulage in the early days of the South-west timber industry including the Perth Hills.
 
The whim axle was manoeuvred midway over a felled log. With the aid of a swampers spoon, the chain was passed under the lof and hooked onto the axle. The whim beam, as a lever, was pulled down using horses and secured to the log, thus raising the axle and the log for easier haulage. A team of eight horses then hauled the raised log to the steam saw mill. The whim revolutionised the early timber industry and was used until the advent of motorised tractors.


The whim has been honoured and recognised by the Mount Helena Residents and Ratepayers Progress Association as a part of their logo and name of our biannual 'Whim' Festival.
