Abstract

The Centenary of Federation Plaquing Program of Engineering Heritage Australia is put into the historical context of Federation and of Australia's engineering achievements. The levels of plaque awards are explained. The special program involved eight National Engineering Landmark awards and two Historic Engineering Marker awards. The projects are: the Kalgoorlie and Broken Hill mines, the East-West Telegraph and the Trans-Australian Railway, the River Murray Works, Lake Burley Griffin and the Trees of Canberra Avenue, the Hawkesbury River Railway Bridges, the John Foord Bridge at Corowa, and the change of gauge station at Wallangarra. The plaques recognize the breadth of the engineering contribution to a Federal Australia.
