- Abstract
Engineers Australia celebrated its Centenary in 2019 with, inter alia, the publication of two coffee table books, one containing 100 stories of important Australian engineering achievements and the other 100 stories of leading Australian engineers. For the first book 'Wonders Never Cease', the planning and proposed contents were presented at the Engineering Heritage Conference in Newcastle NSW in 2015 (Cole et al, 2015). The present paper completes the story of the first book and why a second book 'Anything is Possible' was needed at rather short notice. The material for both books was gathered by a small EHA committee with the willing support of the wider engineering heritage cohort around Australia. The publishing company Spike Creative of Melbourne used their consummate skills in editing and graphic art to condense the stories, fit images into the agreed pages and produce two very attractive colourful informative volumes.
