Constructing Australia

Constructing Australia tells the dramatic story of political turmoil, private tragedy and conflict that lie at the heart of three epic engineering events in Australia’s history: the building of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Perth-Kalgoorlie Pipeline and the Overland Telegraph. Combining a wealth of rare archival images with a richly researched narrative, this volume presents the grand sweep of events and the human drama behind each project.
