Transmission Lines 1955–1974 is a project by Linda Carroli. It documents my father’s working life as a rigger and linesman with the Electric Power Transmission and its Italian parent company. He kept a photographic record of his working life and the photographs featured in this map are his personal photographs from Australia and Italy in the period 1955 to 1974. He commenced work in Italy in 1954 and remained working with EPT until 1975.

Making sense
Having now had access to more information, the timeline is becoming a little clearer to me. This probably means I have estimated some dates incorrectly. So I will need to be attentive to this in the next few days. Having worked on a number of community and local history projects, I have new found respect for historians who are able to weave together (albeit sometimes selectively) mutiple threads of a story and multiple evidentiary sources. While I am endeavouring to distill the facts in this project, I am not trying to verify the facts beyond the family held (and accidental or otherwise contributed) sources.
