Quite a neat map, although it is the first map of Victoria I have ever
seen without any geographic features at all - such as the coast or the
Murray River.  Seeing Port Fairy without any coastline nearby certainly
looked strange.  Colour coding the opening dates is a good idea.

The only thing I found missing (on a quick scan) is the horse-drawn 2'6"
line from Welshpool to Port Welshpool (labelled as Welshpool Jetty on
Mark's map, although my memory says "Port".)

Well done that man .... JD
