It's no use, I must organise a visit to Newcastle again, it's been far too long since I was last there.

Please do pop in to the Archives if you get the chance. We've got 12 miles of shelving so lots of great stuff that few people have ever seen.
Peter said:
And look at the prolonged roadwork disruption on Neville St. today...
Lachlan Main said:
Ooo, now that sounds interesting.

Check out that rotating disk signal. Forgot to say It's the line to Elmore Colliery. The railway went out of use with the opening of Hawthorn Shaft where Elmore coal was then drawn.

By the late 19th century, Australia had already spent a century dispossessing its first inhabitants, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who had been here for over 65,000 years. It also controlled every aspect of their lives: where to live, whom to marry, and most importantly, where to work. Dispossession created a workforce that could be exploited for the pitiful price of cheap rations: flour, salt, and sugar. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were placed in work camps and were sent out to labour for the “new owners” of their traditional lands. They were legally prohibited from receiving their pay in hand; instead, their employers paid it to the government to hold it on trust. By the second half of the 19th century, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were increasingly reluctant to work for colonisers under the harsh terms on offer, and began to rebel against this system. In 1863, Robert Towns, a British merchant wishing to start a cotton plantation, needed cheap labour. There were men “willing” to work as indentured labour for a pittance, he was told, in the South Sea Islands to the east, including the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Easter Island and Gilbert Islands. Towns brought his first shipment of South Sea Island indentured labourers – the “sugar slaves” – to Queensland in 1863. Source: afsee.atlanticfellows.org/blog/2018/amanda-young-australi...
