Australia Made Preference League

Australia Made Preference League was the organisation behind the Great White Train that travelled through New South Wales in Australia, in the 1920s.[1]

The League was formed in 1924 to promote Australian made goods over imported goods.[2] Wallace Alexander Nelson was a co-founder [3]

The Queensland branch of the league was started in 1924 in response to the success of the New South Wales organisation [4]

The materials published and produced by the League have become collectors pieces.[5]
