Maribyrnong Explosives Factory (Part 1)

The western suburbs of Melbourne were home to massive, sprawling factories and industrial areas related to the research, storage and manufacture of munitions. They played significant roles for Australia and the Commonwealth in particular over their many decades of service. One of the best known and most intact today is the Maribyrnong Explosives Factory. ------------- MORE INFORMATION Heritage reports on the sites: https://www.maribyrnong.vic.gov.au/fi...
