Herbert William Burkitt was an engineer who worked for Colonial Sugar Refining Company and the engineering consulting firm MacDonald Wagner & Biddle. He was employed as site engineer and later manager of the first Australian bulk sugar terminal in Mackay from 1957 to 1959.
His collection on Open Research currently consists of a collection of slides. These are images of the Mackay sugar terminal and the floods in the Mackay region (1957-8) as well as bulk sugar handling in Hawai'i (1957). Further records from Burkitts’s collection can be found at N315 at the Noel Butlin Archives.
