Once upon a time, the Australian automobile industry employed 100,000 people. They produced tens of thousands of vehicles for both domestic consumption and export abroad.
The cars were uniquely suited for the Australian market, and they were prized in the country's rural areas.
But now that industry has vanished. The last factories, operated by Toyota and GM, closed in 2017. Other than a few units produced for national security purposes, the Australian car-making industry has all but vanished.
In this video we will return to the Land Down Under and look at the rise, decline and fall of Australia’s automobile manufacturing industry.
