Constructing Australia

Description


Spanning the harbour had been the dream of Sydney siders since the earliest European settlement, but it took the vision and determination of two very different men to make it happen. James Bradfield and Jack Lang. Their personal stories and the story of the bridge interweave in ways that forged modern Australia.

A Wire Through the Heart - An epic survival adventure, a love story, and the forbidding red heart of Australia - these elemental images are powerfully drawn together in the story of how John Stuart crossed the continent and in his wake Charles Todd, who built the telegraph line that finally ended Australia's isolation.

In Australia water is like gold, and in this episode, gold and water combine in the epic story of how they helped give birth to modern Australia. It tells the story of Cy O'Connor and the building of his monumental 570-kilometre pipeline from Perth to Kalgoorlie.
