Peter Knife will present on the following subject:
BHP's operations in Whyalla and the Middleback Ranges
BHP's operations in Whyalla and the Middleback Ranges have involved a wide variety of interesting tramway and railway facilities over the years. Three gauges, steam, petrol, diesel and electric traction, self-active inclines, hand-pushed skips and the most powerful locomotives in Australia at the time of their introduction have all been featured. Join Peter Knife for an exploration of the many and varied activities of BHP and its successors in and around Whyalla. Thanks to David Griffiths we will be delving into early images from BHP's collection. We will also sample changes that have taken place in recent decades.
