Australian Railway Unification.

The unification of the railway gauge from Port Augusta to Adelaide, South Australia, will cost £1,200,000 for 190 miles. When completed it will reduce the journey from Adelaide to Perth by nine hours, reduce the length of rail between Port Augusta and Adelaide by seventy miles, and ensure the through loading of freight from Adelaide to Kalgoorlie, 1,240 miles. The trans-Continental line will be extended from Port Augusta to Redhill, 83 miles. A third line of rail will be laid from Redhill to Adelaide, 107 miles.
