True, but some were the reverse. I can remember bumping over the
rail bridge at Adelaide River when the river below was running a

The great pity of it coming to an end is that our stupid Australian
governments can't just continue on and build in the other missing links of
Tennant Ck to Mt Isa and from Katherine down the west coast.
