Description

We have a very special 1920 June 2020 Edition for you:
The 1920s heralded the brave new world that emerged from the devastation of World War I. In 1920 itself Australia had a mere population of just over five million people. Cars had started to appear on streets and planes were taking to the skies, but both were still not the primary method of getting anywhere or moving goods fast. Rail was most people’s first choice.
Railway writer David Matheson has researched the status and importance of railways and tramways in the year 1920. There are many interesting developments and disasters so we hope that you enjoy going back in time to ride the rails of 100 years ago.
