Repatriation schemes push North Queensland rail plan
A letter argues for a large repatriation scheme linking Rockhampton to Cairns via coastal railways. It proposes spending up to £10,000,000 to build gaps, establish land for soldiers, and develop banana and dairy regions between Mackay, Proserpine, and Ingham. The piece criticizes southern politicians and urges government action to settle soldiers and boost regional production.
