Exhibition: Romance & Industry Revisited
With the relocation of older exhibition pieces from the City office, we saw an opportunity to reconstitute the Romance & Industry exhibition out at the Western Sydney Records Centre.
Romance & Industry captures a grand age of travel by train, just before it was overtaken by air travel and school holidays in the family car. Photographs and publicity brochures portray the spirit of these journeys between metropolis and country, through images of travellers and trains located within the Australian landscape.
