Opened in 1913, the tramline was used to haul timber to the Camden Haven River where it was punted to a mill in Laurieton. Originally, bullocks were used to tow timber trolleys along the tracks, but locomotives were used from 1916 until its closure in 1929. The walk that follows this histroic route is a beautiful short walk that follows Upsalls Creek. Wind through native forest and plantation and look out for Boronia mollis, a rare shrub unique to the Camden Haven Valley. The Swans Crossing picnic and camping area is located a short drive away.
