It’s now almost 30 years since the float of the Australian dollar and rarely has it been stronger than in the past few years. Only now are investors, surprised at the rapidity of the recent drop, waking up to this fact. The economy is starting to feel it too, with Ford closing down local operations, local tourism struggling as Australians head overseas and now Holden giving an ultimatum to staff: accept pay cuts or risk losing your job. Many people explain away this strength with the phrase ‘‘commodities boom’’, but it’s more complex than that. There are five key influences on the Australian dollar and each in its own way offers a clue as to how low the dollar might fall.   1. Interest rates If you can borrow at 0.25 per cent in Europe, the US or Japan and can invest it in Australian bonds, assets or bank accounts paying 3-4 per cent, plus capital gains, why wouldn’t you?

Structural Steel Detailing Hamilton By Design | SolidWorks Why Australian Engineers & SolidWorks Capability Are in Demand Globally Structural steel detailing has always been a critical component of engineering projects. It sits at the point where design becomes reality , translating structural intent into fabrication-ready information. While this is true worldwide, there is a growing trend across the Middle East and other international markets: 👉 A strong preference for Australian engineers, draftspersons, and fabricators This is not accidental. It reflects a combination of engineering culture, standards, and capability —particularly when combined with modern tools like SolidWorks . Engineering  |  Drafting  |  Laser Scanning What Sets Australia Apart in Structural Steel Detailing Australia has developed a reputation for delivering practical, buildable, and reliable engineering outcomes . This is driven by several key factors. 1. Strong Engineering Sta...

Structural Detailing with Solidworks
