Further
reading The
items listed below offer guides to more detailed accounts of the matters
dealt with here. Others are sources for issues omitted or mentioned only
in passing. My website includes material that I have had to leave out
for reasons of space. The site has a section of first-hand accounts by
labourers. The easiest access is to google ‘Humphrey McQueen’, then
track down the left-hand guide to ‘BLF’. Alternatively, you can
enter www.alphalink.com.au/~loge27
All my published items listed below are also on the website. The
references begin with a few that cover a century or more. The rest are
