Abstract

With humility, I accepted the award, recognising that I had been involved with a number of Australia's leading researchers for 25 years, and that this award should be recognised as a tribute to them and the contributions which our team made to the technology and prosperity of the Australian sugar industry. Accordingly, much of this paper includes indications of some of the contributions made by these researchers whose work may not be known outside of the sugar world. Although these discoveries and innovations may not have the spectacular impact of those made by James Watt and A.G.M. Michell, Australian researchers in mechanical engineering have in the past, and are at present, breaking new ground and solving problems comparable with those solved by the 'giants' recorded in history. Good research is being done outside, as well as inside, the boundaries of capital cities and universities.
