About this audio guide
This guide to Carriageworks Farmers' Market in Sydney starts inside the old Eveleigh railway workshops in August 1917, when thousands of boilermakers and fitters downed tools over a new time-and-motion punch card that logged their every movement. It follows how the walkout rippled outward to trams, wharves and coal mines, and how this same iron-roofed blacksmith's shed now fills each Saturday with regional growers instead. Listen for the echo in the roofline above the market stalls.
