So, according to you, a railway was planned form SYD to MEL, around 1839
when MEL was planned, even though the first rail systems in Australia did
not start until 1854, and the first real rail system, anywhere in the world,
did not start until about this time? Hoddle was extremely foresighted then,
wasn't he!
