Description

The 19th Australian engineering heritage conference was held in Mildura, Victoria, 9-13 Oct 2017.

Abstract

The theme of the 19th Australasian Engineering Heritage Conference was Putting Water to Work: from the steam power that opened Australia's inland waterways to navigation in the 19th century to the nation-building irrigation and water supply schemes that capitalised on Australia's most precious resource.
