More power to Australia, Melbourne, Shell Refining (Australia) Pty Ltd, 1954, photographs by Helmut Newton and others.

‘A monument to industrial progress’ is how Shell described the enormous refinery it constructed on a 100-hectare site at Corio Bay, Geelong. More power to Australia was published to commemorate the opening of the refinery, and Helmut Newton’s photographs for the book convey Shell as a modern and progressive company.
