Hi Russell,
So Melbourne hydraulic lifts were still in operation twenty years after my first experience, amazing.
Unfortunately, I don't believe we have kept any solid history of these amazing hydraulic powered systems. As with our excellent cable tram system (although I believe some cable cars survive).
Most of our museums here seem to concentrate on other history and ignore our amazing technical history- back when we often had to make our own.
Cheers, Tony.
