Joe's Book ... facts and theories on the Bunya Mountains, Published and distributed by Joe Walker, Bell, Queensland. First reprint July 1978 ISBN 95615 0 8

Contains descriptions of the tramways built by Lars Andersen & Sons at Pinecliffe mountain, Upper Cressbrook Creek, and at Maidenwell in the Bunya Mountains, including constructional and operational details. These tramways each consisted of a steep balanced incline, and a horse worked line running from the foot of the incline to a sawmill. The Pinecliffe line operated from 1922 to 1942, and the Bunya Mountains line from 1923 to 1942. In the Bunya Mountains there was also a short powered winch line which was used to haul logs up the slope on the oppoosite side of the ridge to a point adjacent to the head of the balanced incline.
