Funded Activity Summary

Frontiers of Labour: Identity and Belonging in Australian Mining and Industrial Towns, 1850-2000. This study of mining and industrial towns will be an important intellectual and cultural contribution to understanding the significance and diversity of regional Australia. The research will provide historical information on eleven case studies as well connect those case studies to patterns of national history. The research will highlight the history of places that are often overlooked or disparaged in the eyes of outsiders. The outcomes will provide rich material for other researchers and policy makers to study the historical conditions which generated long-term sustainable prosperity and town development in the often isolated and vulnerable localities that are the subject of this research.
