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 railway was taken over by the Western Australian Government Railways in 1903.[2]
The company was absorbed into Millars Karri and Jarrah Forests Limited in 1902.[3]
