Arrowroot was first grown and milled on this site in 1910.
The Rivermill was the first and largest of three mills which operated on the Coomera River. It was part of a thriving industry in the area which boasted more than 27 mills, none of which are now in operation. Most, have disappeared without a trace and the land reverted to dairy farms.
The first mill was built to operate with steam power and was renovated in 1932. The mill operated for a further 12 years before it closed in 1943 due to the decline in the industry.
The Historic Rivermill has been used for a variety of things since it was built in 1943. Including a stud, a dairy, a dance hall for Army bush dances and more recently a Wedding Venue and Café. The original part of Rivermill is a museum and has some of the agricultural machinery used at the mill.
