This is a media platform that is dedicated to the reseach industrial history in Australia, with a specific focus on railways, electricity, mining, water infrastructure. Although railways will be a major focus, it is clear that they do not exist in isolation. For example railways are an integral component of the supply chain in mining processes and they are often powered by electricity, which can be generated by water power. Roads and railways are also important to farming and the timber industries, hence the site will also cover antique farm machinery and general road transport. Although this site is devoted to the history of mining, it aims to remain neutral in the climate change debate.
