CENTRAL AUSTRALIA RAILWAY – NORTH AUSTRALIA RAILWAY – TRANS-AUSTRALIAN RAILWAY
“Outback Railwaymen – Life on the Commonwealth Railways” explores the life and times of three
extraordinary railways, through the recollections and humorous stories of a selection of retired
railwaymen and women.
These were the hardy souls who kept the trains running through some of the harshest and most
forbidding landscapes on Earth – the railways in the great ‘Back of Beyond.’
They endured appalling climatic conditions, with scorching summer temperatures, howling dust
storms and raging floodwaters, along with the ever-present danger of accidents and derailments,
and the overwhelming isolation and loneliness that is the Australian Outback.
