The Port Kembla Steelworks of Australian Iron & Steel Ltd., looking across Port Kembla Harbour towards the Pacific Ocean. The Steel Works at present is capable of producing 1,750,000 tons of steel ingots a year, and has been the focal point for much of the Australian steel industry's vast post-war expansion. In the middle distance at the left hand side can be seen the second open hearth shop, which added some 500,000 ingot tons a year to the capacity of the plant. Other additions include: a new sinter plant (top left); new merchant rolling mill (centre); new blast furnace (centre right). The principle expansion project has been the huge Flat Products Division, embracing hot strip mill, tinplate plant and slabbing mill. This lies further to the left and is not shown in this picture. Employment at Port Kembla is currently approximately 11,000. 21.01.1957 [picture]
