Subject: Scattered in country towns and districts throughout Australia are sites, buildings and relics of the nation's pioneer industries. As much as ancient tombs, frescoes or palaces the proofs of human endeavour in the machine age have a special place in any nation's history. In Austrlaia there is a unique wealth of physical and documentary evidence which attests to the enterprise of man-the-toolmaker in a new and often hostile environment (Flyleaf).
