Icehouse and Harvesting
#4
When I grew up in Perth, we had the remains of the ice industry; in fact ice was still delivered to people on our street.
The ice industry seems to have been in the sawdust field from the sawmill, near the river. I think sawdust was used as insulation to preserve the ice during the summer.

In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task.
Most modellers can get two of them to work.
