Ghost Railways of Australia tells the story of Australia's abandoned railway lines and the communities that relied upon them. From bustling railheads handling vast numbers of cattle to quiet country stops where locals once picked wildflowers, the book evokes memories of forgotten places and the people who worked and lived along these lines.
It examines the lives of signalmen in remote locations, the firemen toiling in the heat, and the refreshment kiosk managers who served passengers on long journeys. Illustrated with previously unpublished photographs, this work captures the essence of a bygone era, exploring the impact of these railways on the Australian landscape and its people. A nostalgic look at a vital part of Australia's history.
