context_page_description: The Yarloop Workshops was a railway and timber mill machinery workshop, situated in the town of Yarloop, Western Australia.
  The workshops operated from 1901 to 1978. Originally built by Charles and Edwin Millar on the site of the first timber mill in the area, the operations expanded to become the support facility for Millars' 26 timber mills and the rail network that connected them. The workshops hand-crafted most of the parts necessary to maintain the equipment rather than experience delays in obtaining parts from the United Kingdom. After suffering extensive damage from Cyclone Alby in 1978, Millars moved their operation to a site just outside the town on the South Western Highway. The site then changed ownership several times until it was bought by Bunnings in 1983.
  On 7 January 2016 the workshop, along with most of the townsite, was destroyed by a bushfire.
