Midland Worker's Wall

Associate Professor Lucy Taksa (Director, Industrial Relations Research Centre and Australian School of Business, UNSW) launched the Worker's Register with Premier Bob Carr (whose father worked at Eveleigh) on 29 August 1999 at an open day held by the ATP. Her proposal was not only the register but also a keeping place for the social history and a workers wall. Despite early discussions with NSW Government they have not taken up these ideas for Eveleigh as yet. The Midlands Redevelopment Authority in WA did ask Lucy Taksa to advise them on the Midlands redevelopment. The photos in this PDF show the WA wall that was dedicated to the Midland Railway workers. These photo's were circulated to the Eveligh Heritage meeting on 28 October 2008 by Dr Taksa. File is 926 KB PDF.
