5. Couple's 42 Year Test Record

Bernie and Norma Schneider of Rockhampton, Queensland still have the newspaper cutting from 1962. It tells the story of how research and development scientists set up a testing station on their 20-acre property that straddles the Tropic of Capricorn. Forty two years later the site is one of BlueScope Steel's longest established testing stations in Australia – and Bernie is set to celebrate his eightieth birthday.
