Maribyrnong's future The Woolwich of Australia
The Federal Government plans expending £450000 to expand munitions capacity in Melbourne's Maribyrnong. A new research laboratory costing £57000 will study industrial resources and train staff, with forthcoming shell and brass case factories, a filling plant, and a high explosive plant. The shift to distributed manufacturing and growing female labor marks a major postwar transformation in Australian engineering.
