The Bradmill factory in Yarraville, Melbourne, has a storied history that spans over five decades. Originally founded in Sydney in 1927 as Bradford Cotton Mills, the company expanded its operations to Victoria in 1940. In the late 1950s, a new factory was built on Francis Street in Yarraville, and the company was renamed Bradmill.

At its peak, the Bradmill factory was a hub of ceaseless activity, producing an impressive 36 million square meters of cotton denim annually. This was almost enough to wrap the world! The factory employed thousands of workers and integrated cutting-edge technologies, earning global recognition for its innovative denim production.

Bradmill was known for its high-quality products, including cotton, denim, Colvadure, nylon, polyester, rayon, and elastomeric stretch yarns. The factory's materials were used in a wide range of products, from firehoses and deck chairs to tents and tarpaulins. Despite facing challenges such as increased competition and inflation in the 1980s, Bradmill thrived on innovation and ventured into new export markets.

The factory was not just a place of work but also a vibrant community. Employees from over 30 nationalities worked together, breaking down barriers and fostering a culture of inclusivity. The site was bustling with up to 1,200 employees who connected through shared lunches, music, sports, and outings. Lifelong friendships were formed, and the legacy of unity and warmth remains.

"The ship Sierra Nevada bound from Liverpool to Melbourne, crashed upon the rocks of the Ocean Back Beach, behind Portsea, at 1 a.m. yesterday, and 23 of her crew were lost. The centre of the ship, like a mammoth shark’s fin, now appears above the breakers upon which the unmasted hull has been impaled, and that is all that is visible of the wreck. The masts, sails and numberless spars and fragments from the splintered vessel, together with many hundreds of cases and bales of cargo, bestrew the rocks to the mainland, and shortly after news was received of the disaster the battered body of the captain was hauled out from among the wreckage."

The Sierra Nevada was bound from Liverpool with a cargo that consisted chiefly of whiskey and paper. She sighted Cape Otway on Tuesday morning, and before a favouring breeze made good progress towards Melbourne. At nightfall the lookout sighted the Heads, and there was every prospect of entering the harbor early in the morning. Soon, however, the wind veered around to the south, and as it steadily increased in strength, sail was shortened and everything made taut and apparently safe. The ship continued on her way without increased portents of danger until 11 p.m. Then, above the lashing of the waves and the roar of the wind, the voice of Geo. McGuffin, the man on the lookout, was heard proclaiming ominous warning, “Breakers ahead!” Simultaneously the sailors discerned through the darkness a white line of surf
