On the shores of Port Waratah, close to Newcastle, New South Wales, there  

existed for centuries an unhealthy, unsightly swamp.  

When the Broken Hill Proprietary Co., Ltd., decided, in 1912, to engage  

in the production of iron and steel, this spot was selected, on account of its  

deep-sea frontage, as suitable spot for the establishment of the works. By  

the outbreak of the war the construction of the works was well advanced,  

and the Government and people of Australia were consequently able to look  

forward with confidence to the maintenance of railway communications and  

the continuance of manufacturing operations.  

The swamp had produced nothing—the Steel Works, which were taking its  

place, were relied upon to produce sufficient iron and steel for the industrial  

security of Australia.  

After the establishment of the industry the first  

thought was naturally for National Australian needs.  

The Australian Railways required rails and fishplates—  

engineering workshops needed iron and steel in various  

forms to enable them to keep the manufacturing and  

mining industries going  

These requirements were carefully studied, and the  

necessary supplies were produced, with the result that  

the wheels of Australian Com-  

merce and Industry were kept  

moving, and employment given  

to the many thousands of  

workers.

‘Jfte Second QJiapiep  

But there were other materials required in Australia—the  

needs of the great Primary Industries next came under  

review. As the production and distribution of these articles  

required specialised handling, it was decided to operate through  

subsidiary company, Rylands Bros. (Aust.), Limited, whose works  

were established adjoining the Steel Works at Newcastle.  

“WARATAH” FENCING WIRE, â€œWARATAH” BARBED  

WIRE and â€œWARATAH” WIRE NETTING were the first lines  

turned out. These were of the very highest grade, comparing to  

advantage with any similar articles produced in any part of the  

world. These articles were eagerly welcomed by primary pro-  

ducers, their sterling quality at once recommending them.  

The Management of the Newcastle Works were, however, not yet satisfied. They saw that, year after year,  

hundreds of miles of fencing were destroyed by bush fires. Could this great loss be prevented? Why not  

steel fence posts?  

No sooner was the question raised than steps were taken towards its solution. The posts required must be exceptionally  

strong, easily erected, not too heavy, and with lifetime of service before them. They must be so constructed that the  

fiercest bush fire would not harm them. After many experiments all these requirements were fulfilled, and primary producers all  

over the Commonwealth are now using WARATAH â€œB.H.P. STAR” STEEL POSTS, which are absolutely safe from fire, will not  

rot, are impervious to white ants, require no postholes, do not need to be bored, do away with wedges or ties, and obviate the  

necessity for ramming the posts, or for insuring fences against fire.  

The â€œWARATAH” STEEL POSTS, which are prepared exclusively from Newcastle â€œ8.H.P.” Steel, are probably the greatest boon  

yet enjoyed by the man on the land. They have been made possible by the establishment of the Steel Works at Newcastle, and by  

the skilled local knowledge of their managers.  

The latest product for landowners is the FLEXO STEEL DROPPER, which is unbreakable, fireproof and rustproof. It is flexible,  

easy to fix and can be attached to any existing fence. It is specially suited for use with the â€œWaratah â€™â€™Steel Posts.  

The Newcastle Steel Works give employment to thousands of Australian workers, enable Australian Railways to be run, help Aus-  

tralian engineers and manufacturers, and assist primary producers to conduct their operations efficiently and economically.  

THE PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY OF AUSTRALIA  

ARE CLOSELY LINKED UP WITH THE NEWCASTLE IRON  

AND STEEL INDUSTRY.
