The Canning Jarrah Timber Company was a timber and timber railway company operating in the Darling Range in Western Australia in the 1890s.
The company was registered in London in 1898.[1]
It built the Upper Darling Range railway. The railway developed the communities of Canning Mills, Kalamunda, and nearby locations, enabling delivery of materials to Perth; this included timber and other produce.
The company's timber operations were sold to Millars in December 1901.[2][3] The railway was taken over by the Western Australian Government Railways in July 1903.[3][4]
