We are getting there, albeit slowly.!

Double stack through Broken Hill and a bypass around the Adelaide
Hills will almost make our National network viable for the 21st
Century, but if the Feds keep pouring funds into the roads and
State Governments allow longer and bigger trucks as in South
Australia and Victoria then the truck carnage on our roads will
continue and Rail will never be able to do the job it was meant
to do.
