Fix this textOn the shores of Port Waratah, close to Newcastle, New South Wales, there
Fix this textexisted for centuries an unhealthy, unsightly swamp.
Fix this textWhen the Broken Hill Proprietary Co., Ltd., decided, in 1912, to engage
Fix this textin the production of iron and steel, this spot was selected, on account of its
Fix this textdeep-sea frontage, as a suitable spot for the establishment of the works. By
Fix this textthe outbreak of the war the construction of the works was well advanced,
Fix this textand the Government and people of Australia were consequently able to look
Fix this textforward with confidence to the maintenance of railway communications and
Fix this textthe continuance of manufacturing operations.
Fix this textThe swamp had produced nothing—the Steel Works, which were taking its
Fix this textplace, were relied upon to produce sufficient iron and steel for the industrial
Fix this textsecurity of Australia.
Fix this textAfter the establishment of the industry the first
Fix this textthought was naturally for National Australian needs.
Fix this textThe Australian Railways required rails and fishplates—
Fix this textengineering workshops needed iron and steel in various
Fix this textforms to enable them to keep the manufacturing and
Fix this textmining industries going
Fix this textThese requirements were carefully studied, and the
Fix this textnecessary supplies were produced, with the result that
Fix this textthe wheels of Australian Com-
Fix this textmerce and Industry were kept
Fix this textmoving, and employment given
Fix this textto the many thousands of
Fix this textworkers.

Fix this textBut there were other materials required in Australia—the
Fix this textneeds of the great Primary Industries next came under
Fix this textreview. As the production and distribution of these articles
Fix this textrequired specialised handling, it was decided to operate through
Fix this textsubsidiary company, Rylands Bros. (Aust.), Limited, whose works
Fix this textwere established adjoining the Steel Works at Newcastle.
Fix this text“WARATAH” FENCING WIRE, “WARATAH” BARBED
Fix this textWIRE and “WARATAH” WIRE NETTING were the first lines
Fix this textturned out. These were of the very highest grade, comparing to
Fix this textadvantage with any similar articles produced in any part of the
Fix this textworld. These articles were eagerly welcomed by primary pro-
Fix this textducers, their sterling quality at once recommending them.
Fix this textThe Management of the Newcastle Works were, however, not yet satisfied. They saw that, year after year,
Fix this texthundreds of miles of fencing were destroyed by bush fires. Could this great loss be prevented? Why not
Fix this textsteel fence posts?
Fix this textNo sooner was the question raised than steps were taken towards its solution. The posts required must be exceptionally
Fix this textstrong, easily erected, not too heavy, and with a lifetime of service before them. They must be so constructed that the
Fix this textfiercest bush fire would not harm them. After many experiments all these requirements were fulfilled, and primary producers all
Fix this textover the Commonwealth are now using WARATAH “B.H.P. STAR” STEEL POSTS, which are absolutely safe from fire, will not
Fix this textrot, are impervious to white ants, require no postholes, do not need to be bored, do away with wedges or ties, and obviate the
Fix this textnecessity for ramming the posts, or for insuring fences against fire.
Fix this textThe “WARATAH” STEEL POSTS, which are prepared exclusively from Newcastle “8.H.P.” Steel, are probably the greatest boon
Fix this textyet enjoyed by the man on the land. They have been made possible by the establishment of the Steel Works at Newcastle, and by
Fix this textthe skilled local knowledge of their managers.
Fix this textThe latest product for landowners is the FLEXO STEEL DROPPER, which is unbreakable, fireproof and rustproof. It is flexible,
Fix this texteasy to fix and can be attached to any existing fence. It is specially suited for use with the “Waratah ’’Steel Posts.
Fix this textThe Newcastle Steel Works give employment to thousands of Australian workers, enable Australian Railways to be run, help Aus-
Fix this texttralian engineers and manufacturers, and assist primary producers to conduct their operations efficiently and economically.
