In 1875 Ross began circulating a broadsheet proposal which detailed the ''Rosstown project'', a large scale sugar beet processing mill, a railway line to serve it, and a residential estate, named after him on the edge of the metropolis between Melbourne and the town of Oakleigh. Although he began building the mill, it never began production, and the [[Rosstown Railway]] he constructed was never used. |
