"Unique" Terowie to B. Hill [Broken Hill]

    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."

    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
