This dataset creates a visualisation of wharf activity and truck turnover times at Port Botany, Australia. The visualisation presents an accessible representation of changes in port productivity and contextualises them in relation to economic events, labour relations and technological change. It contains three folders plus 7 files (including 2 jar and 2 batch files). Java is needed to open jar files and start visualisation. The Sidebar in visualisation offers explanation of data sources and significance. Mac users should open the .jar files from the Finder menu. The draft Road Data Visualisation and the draft Wharf Data Visualisation are also downloadable as PDFs (2.6 MB each). The full visualisations require unzippling software to download.
