That's pretty incredible about how a new line was built to the north coast from Alice Springs. The word "finally!" comes to mind. I'm from America but I have a great interest in Australia, seeing as how I used to have an email relationship with a girl from Melbourne, plus it seems like a very fascinating country, like America with an edge. ;) <br /> <br />Heh, we Americans have a rail network running around our outer perimeters, along both coasts and the Canadian and Mexican borders. You Ozzies don't think you'll ever try something like that; maybe build a link from Darwin to Brisbane or link the Hamersley Iron lines to Perth? (It could provide a more convenient tourist link to the Kimberley and Top End, and perhaps cut down on shipping Hamersley ore to Perth and the east coast.) <br />Dang, you guys must feel like Cecil Rhodes when he first proposed the Cape-to-Cairo line in Africa (which still has yet to be completed, hint hint...)
