Abstract

William Sandford was the key figure between 1886 to 1907 in creating a viable modern iron industry in Australia. His deep commitment to iron production at Lithgow in New South Wales, born of his experience in England and his knowledge of European and American technology, culminated in two separate achievements, the manufacture of the first steel in Australia in 1900, and in 1906-7, the construction of the first modern blast furnace in Australia. The paper examines the cost to Sandford's personality and prosperity of his struggle in Lithgow, and appraises the heroic vision of a flawed ironmaster.
