James Hardie & Co., Ltd. plant at Brisbane (Newstead), Queensland

In June 1934, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that James Hardie & Co., Ltd., of Sydney had "decided to make an immediate start with the erection of works at Newsstead, Brisbane, for the manufacture of Fibrolite Asbestos Cement products."1 The journal said this would "practically complete the Company's chain of works thruout Australia, factories already being in operation at Sydney, Melbourne and Perth."1 The item describes a plan; the sources here do not say when the Brisbane works opened.1
