Abstract The size, population distribution, and climatic variations of Australia are discussed. The standard of living is high; politically Australia is a federation of states; its manufacturing work force is highly unionized. The growth in the industry in the past 16 years is quantified, and the production of its raw materials and intermediates described, covering the appropriate technology. Product types are related to lifestyle and laundering habits and are described in that context. Marketing methods, advertising, and the industry association are briefly mentioned.
