Seems now that we have 3 proposed rubbish dumps.
Heard on the ABC news friday 13th , that the recently closed Woodlawn Mine 
near Goulburn ,(actually nearer Tarago) is also now a contender for Sydneys 
rubbish.
Whilst the Rail line goes thru Tarago, there is no actual line to the Mine 
itself,so I guess the rubbish will have to be trucked the final distance,or a 
short spur built.
