Australian Industry

Australian Industry posts collect short pieces on sectors that drive the Australian economy. Articles look at iron ore mining in the Pilbara, coal exports from Queensland, the offshore gas projects of the North West Shelf, the wine industry in South Australia, Victoria and the Hunter Valley, the wool clip and merino fleece, beef from northern grazing lands, and the financial services centred on Sydney. There are also notes on the trade dependence on China, on the slow shift toward services and on the role of the Reserve Bank of Australia in keeping the dollar in a rough corridor.
