===Expansion into central milling===
By the late 1860s, relying on imported raw sugar was no longer financially viable for the company and Knox decided to establish his own supplies by establishing centralised mills to crush [[sugarcane]] grown by farmers in the [[Northern Rivers]] region of New South Wales. Raw sugar produced from the Southgate, Chatsworth, Darkwater and [[Harwood Mill|Harwood]] mills on the [[Macleay River|Macleay]], [[Clarence River (New South Wales)|Clarence]] and [[Richmond River]]s was transported by ship to the company's refineries in Sydney and Melbourne. This proved very profitable and CSR was able to retain a near monopoly of sugar refining in the Australian colonies. In 1880-81, CSR further consolidated their milling operations by the construction of the high-output [[Condong, New South Wales|Condong]] and [[Broadwater, New South Wales|Broadwater]] mills also located in northern New South Wales.<ref name="farrer">{{cite book |last1=Farrer |first1=Keith |title=To Feed a Nation |date=2005 |publisher=CSIRO |isbn=9780643091542 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CJwsXU5sFqYC |access-date=23 December 2021 |archive-date=11 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220811050807/https://www.google.com.au/books/edition/To_Feed_a_Nation/CJwsXU5sFqYC?hl=en |url-status=live }}</ref>
