This project is an attempt to provide a catalogue of Australian Beer Cans with pictures of major design changes with list of minor and major variations. If you are not interested in minor variations, simply print out the pages of each list that contain pictures.

The minor variations to 1995 have been provided by John Garland with super slueth Craig Marias adding to the list. The vast majority of variations from 1995 have been provided by Laurie Clark.

Most of the cans I do not have, have been photographed from the Paul Chapman Collection .
Other contributers who have provided information, photos, corrections or let me view and photo their cans:-
Joe Kovesy, Craig Marias, Dave Rial, Gary McNair, Jim Stilburn, Mark Rogers, Paul Sierak, Lyle Burnett, Rod Hogan, Ed Davidof, Darren Carmen, Brian Tween, Greg Plant and Fred Irwin. Help also from the Tasmanian Division. David Burtt lent his books compiled by himself, Colin O'Brien, Patrick Hovington & Mark Appleby. Some Photos by Gaylene Burtt.

The photos unless acknowleged are mine. ©2002, ©2003, ©2004 Some Tasmanian photos other than mine, Gaylene Burtt.
This work may be freely copied and shared but not sold.

Mistakes, omissions and duplications occur. If you can bring these to my attention, I hope collectors will eventually have a useful reference source.

PRINTING ; I work with small print margins, so if you are having trouble printing, set the margins at .5cm
