Marie Donnelley (nee Lorieri) has emailed to make an inquiry and also to told me a little about her family's story:
I was browsing the web regarding
EPT and found out that you had done some research on EPT as your father
had worked for the company in the mid 1950s. My father came out with
the first of the men from SAE in 1951. He was actually flown over from
Italy to Australia – we, my mother and my sister and brother followed
and arrived by ship in June 1952. He, too, was a rigger and linesman
and was at the original camp at Menai/Engadine and worked throughout
Australia until he finally, due to his age, worked at Marayong.
Unfortunately I do not know much about his work history as I was only 6
when we arrived here ...
Regards
Marie
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.
