- Abstract
As part of its Bicentennial activities, the Institution of Engineers, Australia is pleased to present this selection of the achievements of engineers in Australia since 1788. It can be no more than a selection, for it would take many books to tell the complete story. It is left to our readers to fill in the details of the unsung heroes of engineering, who laboured with mind and might to harness the forces of nature for our mutual benefit. We trust the book will serve several purposes, not the least of which will be to increase awareness of the part engineers have played in creating the Australia we all know, and in making possible our present high standard of living.
