I forgot to include that, and Woodville-Finsbury-Rosewater.

Maree to Alice was interesting, but I didn't like the idea of a line that
had to be rebuilt after every flood.

I should have included Woomera and Murray Bridge Port.

I also didn't include Middleton-Currency Creek (1885), Glenelg-Marino
(1880-1881).

For tramways, most of the Adelaide trams removed in 1958 and the
Lakeview-Mundoora-Port Broughton tram line are missed.

Finally, the only *re-opened after track pulled up* section I know of in SA,
Victor Harbour - Granite Island is a great reminder that sometimes a line
can be rebuilt.

In NSW, who could forget the line running north from Broken Hill which
included the site of the "Turks' last stand"?
