Australia’s Great Key Industry The Development of Steel Manufacture
The Newcastle Steel Works of Broken Hill Proprietary Co. dominate Australia’s steel output. From a swamp 16 years earlier the site expanded to 325 acres with 26 miles of rails and three blast furnaces. It ships ore from Whyalla and Port Waratah, produces pig iron, steel ingots, blooms, rails, and munition steel, and set world records for weekly ingot output.
