Tasmania:
Was Rhyndaston the only one on TGR?
EBR had Argentia.
There were others on the west-coast mining lines.

WA:
AFAIK Upper Swan [Swan View?] was the only one.  It is preserved as part of
a walking track today.

NSW:
Many.

Qld: Many.

Victoria:
Elphinstone (NOT Elphingstone)
Big Hill
Healesville
Cheviot
Geelong
also:
two at West Richmond and one at Heidelberg
Fyansford (longer than any of VR's ones)
Bump (Powelltown)
