Don’t sell heritage like #VictoriaBarracks for budget small bikkies. For flats and a cafe? To save “up to $100 million a year in maintenance costs”. Instead think of that as an investment in heritage. And, instead, raise more revenue so 3 tiers of government don’t have to be constantly scraping by. #AusPol #AusEcon #heritageAU

As is his custom Tim @wragge Sherratt undersells (above) what he's done.
He's programmatically geolocated "18,603 out of 20,644 photos" digitised by #StateLibraryVIC.
Tim: "When I started working on the collection I wasn’t really sure what was possible." So he learnt, tried, adapted, all with a goal in mind. Tim has an uncommon mind and set of skills. And uncommon productivity. His article is easy to read - if needed one can skim the more technical detail. Tim documents his methods to be shared.
