A
new collection placed online in March 2018 is from James Gooderson now
of Mornington Island, who was working with a PWD Survey Crew for the Ord
River Irrigation Area 1960-1962 and was on the PWD Tidal Power Survey
along the Kimberley Coast in 1963. A great collection that is relevant
to the current push for renewable energy in Australia.

1963 Tidal Power Survey of the Kimberley Coast
This
is a classic piece of 1963 history that is relevant to today's use of
renewable energy, showing part of the Kununurra Historical Society's Jim
Gooderson collection, from when he was on a PWD survey crew that was
making a survey of Tidal Power along the Kimberley Coast. A paper was
published by Public Works Department
Engineer, John Lewis, who was involved with the Ord River Diversion Dam
construction. John has kindly given KHS permission to re-publish his
paper, which we hope to have online shortly.
