Abstract
Over a period of almost sixty years, a surprisingly diverse range of a ccelerator activity has occurred. The earliest involved the electrosta tic machines constructed at the University of Melbourne between 1938 a nd 1950. The most ambitious project undertaken, a 10.6 GeV proton sync hrotron at Canberra, was never completed. These and other developments in laboratories through the country will be reviewed.
