Hi Bob and others,
Not buying into this topic but.....
I seem to recall that the original Ghan rail line was built using
"depression unemployed" workers. These were ex office workers and similar.
It was sort of a work for the dole system. What nobody had considered was
what would happen when you took all these men not used to physical labour
and stuck them out in near desert conditions and expected them to do a
hard days work.
There were many deaths and a great scandal.... or so I seem to recall.
Regards Tony VK3API
