Witness how nature is leading a successful takeover of old convents, power plants, textile factories, skate parks, and houses that now sit idle, awaiting their fate. The photographs document the architecture and interiors of Australia''s industrial past, often exposing scenes that invite curiosity about a social culture that has slowly faded away. With subjects ranging from the once important to the obscure, these haunting images show how the coastal areas are different from the harsh, dry interior, some of which has been declared uninhabitable.Backstories about the buildings often accompany these singular glimpses, leaving us to contemplate the architectural and cultural legacy of this mesmerizing landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Redhill Skate Rink, Queensland\u003cbr\u003e St Johns Convent, New South Wales\u003cbr\u003e Portland Cement \u0026amp; Lime, Portland, New South Wales\u003cbr\u003e Small Arms Factory, New South Wales\u003cbr\u003e Brisbane Fruit \u0026amp; Produce Market Exchange, Queensland\u003cbr\u003e The Railway Workshops, Queensland\u003cbr\u003e The Tool \u0026amp; Gauge Shop, Queensland\u003cbr\u003e The Wagon \u0026amp; Carriage Shop, Queensland\u003cbr\u003e The Spring Shop, Queensland\u003cbr\u003e The Spring Shop, Queensland\u003cbr\u003e The K-Mill, Queensland\u003cbr\u003e The Tarpaulin Shop, Queensland\u003cbr\u003e The Old Brisbane Tram Shed, Queensland\u003cbr\u003e Glenreagh Station, New South Wales\u003cbr\u003e The Power House, Queensland\u003cbr\u003e Energy Brix, Melbourne, Victoria\u003cbr\u003e Wangi Wangi Power Station, New South Wales\u003cbr\u003e Madken Foundry, Brisbane, Queensland\u003cbr\u003e The Brickworks, Queensland\u003cbr\u003e The Flour Mill, Queensland\u003cbr\u003e Abattoris, New South Wales\u003cbr\u003e The Maltings, Queensland\u003cbr\u003e The Country Theatre, Queensland\u003cbr\u003e Torrens Quarantine, South Australia\u003cbr\u003e Residential Buildings\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Schiffer Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884578156887,"sku":"9780764362835","price":29.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780764362835.jpg?v=1722532595","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/memories-of-australia-9780764362835","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
