Abstract

The recognition of the engineering heritage draws attention to the ever present influence of the past, and should remind us of the value of understanding the past, in order the better to tackle the problems of today and the future. It is on this historical significance of the engineering heritage that I would like to focus attention. For not only is the surviving heritage the physical evidence of past engineering achievements, it also helps to elucidate the history of engineering, and increases its interpretive power in our understanding of what our society is and where it is going.

"... the rengitj, as a visible mark or imprint on the land, is characterised as a place of origin, the repository of all names, as well as a kind of mapped visual expression of the connection between people and places which is to be carried out in the temporal sequence of the journey."
