It's a PDF file you'll need to download. The first is the Adelaide factory on Victoria Road Largs Bay. Was being used by James Hardie
2nd is Eagle Farm in Brisbane. 3rd is Homebush on Paramatta Rd. 4th is Geelong and last one is Perth on Stirling Hwy in Mosman Park (Matilday Bay Brewery).

I'm based in Adelaide so might go have a wonder over to the Largs Bay building when I get a chance and do some exploring!
Wow there was a Ford Factory on Paramatta Rd? Does it still exist? I work next door to its former location these days (Sydney Markets) and never noticed it .
