Description: From a paper presented at "The past at work: Industrial history conference", April 21 - 22 1990, Melbourne.
Abstract: It is not widely understood in the community that Australia, a country which earns most of its export income from agricultural products and minerals, was, by early this century, a very industrialised country. In the nineteenth century most of our industrial plant and even our railway tracks and rolling stock were imported, but by the 1920s we were self-sufficient in the supply of most of our steel products and engineering plant.

"... 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."
