In 1924, Charles Whitham wrote:- Williamsford is the township attached to Mount Read, and is right at the foot of the steepest and longest haulage line we have...5 miles from Rosbery by road, and 18 miles from Zeehan by tramway, and if you like rugged and wild scenery you will find it a charming place By the late twentieth century there were no longer inhabitants of this community. The townsite is to become the new site of a collection of conifers. These conifers have been collected over the last 15 years from a number of Southern Hemisphere countries where they are approaching extinction. The collected species of trees are considered extremely rare living examples of prehistoric conifers and to be "the best collection in the world". (en)
