Peak Hill Railway deviation report on Narromine to Peak Hill route
Public Works Committee inspected Narromine to Peak Hill deviation. Mr H Weedon noted the route crosses Wallaby Creek waterway and travels via Narromine Bogan road to Tomingley Creek, with good formation overall except gilgai areas. Extra 40 mile deviation would serve new wheat lands east of the trial line, but cultivation improves rainfall absorption and reduces run off if the land is kept intact.
