The line from the Victoria Border to Millicent (if it goes that far - it
may only go to the paper works at Snuggery) is owned by the SA
Government as is the line from Wolseley to Mt. Gambier.   Part of the
latter is leased to the Limestone Coast Railway, or they at least use
it.

Is anyone from the South East who might know listening?????
