We are celebrating a true joining of nations via a railway line 140 years ago, when the section between Goulburn and the Murray River was joined to meet the Victorian Railways. The meeting was a true first as it marked the first time in Australian history that two colonial premiers had appeared together publicly. The line finally reached the border with the extension across the Murray River on 14 June 1883. Despite the story of the building and the designing of the railway and Alburys new station styled in Victorian Italianate style under the direction of John Whitton. We have taken time to look at the in dept history of some long-forgotten stations that have disappeared off the map in the section such as Bon Accord, Kapooka (again – April 2020 issue), Jindalee (this is in May 2023 issue), Table Top, and Gerogery. All this and more in our June issue!
