Lysaght's Aussie Legacy

[Walter Glover]

It all started back in 1857 when a 25-year-old Irishman by the name of John Lysaght saw potential in corrugated iron sheeting, and started exporting it to Australia.
Corrugated iron helped build the nation’s domestic and industrial landscape from the iconic shearing shed, the classic outback dunny. And who isn’t warmed by the comforting sound of rain on a corrugated roof?



And a nearby extract:

I like that second one, it reminds me of a Joan Miro painting.

Oh yes, that's a good one with some well timed cross-lighting to make those corrugations sing. That front wall is a beautiful example of re-used iron; battered but still serviceable.
I still have and treasure the Lysaght Referee of 1947, a tiny pocket size compendium of essential knowledge for the practically minded Australian man, Everything from corrugated iron types, postage rates, machine screw sizes, logarithms, resuscitating drowned persons, wire gauges, and so much more.

I find myself magnetically drawn to corrugated iron Maris. That'd be something of a treasure to keep handy.
