Explore a colourful chapter of Australia's history at National Archives' exhibition Camel trains to steel wheels: life on the Trans-Australian Railway.
Opening in 1917, the Trans-Australian Railway was Australia's most economically and strategically important line. It ran from Port Augusta in South Australia to Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, crossing the Nullarbor Plain and connecting the nation's east and west.
This exhibition features fascinating archival records, photos and footage that captured the events and challenges from the railway's first 60 years, including its impact on First Nations people.
From the construction effort and its diverse workforce to the unique lives of communities that sprang up along the line, this is a must-see exhibition for those who revel in Australia's railway history through time and place.
