The fate of Eveleigh: more of ‘Ugly Sydney’ or an enhancement of the greatest rail heritage site in the world?

This is the draft of an article being prepared for " The Australian Folklore Journal " that is published annually by the University of New England. The article has been made available by the authors Brian Dunnett (a retired Eveleigh worker) and Robert Haworth (from the Heritage Futures Research Centre, University of New England). The article provides a detailed suggestion of how some of the Eveleigh Heritage identified in the RWA Heritage map and some other items could be retained and made into a tourist attraction that tells the Eveleigh Story. The article is well worth a read to understand the important role Eveleigh played in Sydney and wider state and the rich potential for a heritage attraction on the site which also includes an ongoing active rail heritage use.
