This photograph is of a steam tram in Argent street Broken Hill

Thanks for identifying the street, barnsey9. Here is a link to the Google street view.

Yep sure is Argent St. The towers behind are from front to back the Court, Town Hall and with the clock the post office. Im building a G scale model of the Town Hall for my garden tramway in G scale

Sounds great, I hope you add a photo of it to your Flickr stream for us all to see! AB

OK, so Mr Watt was testing camels.

Maybe they thought camels could be a new method of delivering fire services..??

Not sure what "Unique" is referring to here? Something to do with the break-of-gauge in the railways?

"Terowie's initial raison d'être was to serve as a transport hub for the late 19th Century pastoral settlement of the north-east of the State. The broad gauge line from the south (via Burra) ended at Terowie. Soon a narrow gauge line continued 20 km north to Peterborough, where lines from Perth, Western Australia, Alice Springs, Broken Hill and later Sydney met. Thus Terowie functioned for decades as the transshipment point at the railway break-of-gauge."

Terowie, S.A. is a fascinating ghost town - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terowie,_South_Australia

beachcomber australia I'm unsure as to what "unique" refers to as well. The titles of the photos in this series come directly from the description given to them in the album. See investigator.records.nsw.gov.au/asp/photosearch/search.as... for the whole album page. -AG
