Pipeline construction continued in Queensland with the building of the Roma to Brisbane gas pipeline and the major gas pipeline from Moomba to Adelaide was also built at this time. Successful appraisal and development drilling led to the construction of the Moonie to Brisbane pipeline in 1963-64.

Queensland 16 Mile Map. The Moonie Oil Pipeline started a new industry in Australia which was to see the construction of the worlds first Iron Ore Slurry line (the Savage River Pipeline also constructed by Bechtel Pacific), built in Tasmania in 1967. The first 600 ft section of the 4,500,000 pipeline was lowered carefully into its trench in a cleared bush land setting at 10.40 am.
