Abstract

Basic guidelines are given for the identification of and research into old farm implements and machinery used on Australian farms between 1880 and 1930. In particular, advice is given for the preliminary identification of machinery from simple observation, and basic sources of research material are revealed, especially that relating to Australian manufacturers.

"... 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."
