North Australia Railway Network Proposed by Toowoomba Leader
Toowoomba businessman Mr A. A. Griffiths advocates using war surplus rail equipment to build a transcontinental railway system across northern and central Australia. The plan envisions a 4 ft 8 1/2 in gauge network linking Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia with key ports and towns, backed by long haul freight rates and rapid construction.
