Tolmie Railway plan aims to settle vast districts
A report on Tolmie railway expansion proposed routes from Bonulla to Modd’s Crossing and through Tolmie district to link with Whitefield and Benalla. It estimates costs around £182,100 for the line, land, and rolling stock, with potential to boost settlement by opening rural blocks and timber districts, while weighing alternative routes via Whitefield or Benalla.

Tolmie railway report debates routes and costs
The Tolmie railway committee weighs routes from Whitfield to Mahaikah and Benalla to Dodd s Crossing. It argues a broader line via Molyullah offers better settlement reach but incurs higher costs, recommending a narrow gauge link from Whitfield to Mahaikah at about £85,000 with land costs included.

Debated railway land policy and settlement schemes
Witness outlined that current Crown lands offer insufficient quality for a successful railway settlement. Proposals urged resuming land, purchasing vast Crown tracts, and shaping holdings to feed and justify a Whitfield to M Donalds Gap route. Costs estimated at 4 to 20 pounds per acre with wide land acquisitions.

Unified push for short line to Tatong gains support
A regional railway dispute reveals advocates urging a rapid 16 mile extension from Swanpool to Tatong to serve Lima East, Samaria, and Toombullup North, arguing it outperforms the longer Whitfield to Mahaika route and benefits Wangarratla trade, with leaders calling for a united deputation to the Premier.
