The Sandalwood Dray Shed is a memorial in recognition of the development of the Shire of Mt Marshall by the sandalwood cutters. Sandalwood cutters came in the 1880’s after a boom in sandalwood prices. The sandalwood cutters used the water points recorded by the early explorers and in later days the sandalwooders tracks were used by early settlers linking them to many areas. The Dray Shed was built by Beacon Men’s Shed volunteers and the materials for the shed were funded by the Shire of Mt Marshall. The Shire Mt Marshall has adopted the slogan “The Sandalwood Shire”.
