 Chapter 5: The Railway Age, 1874-1920
The Queensland Railways were not really deficient until exposed to the stress of the Pacific War between 1941 and 1945, when it became clear that their light standards were as inadequate for the defence of the country as they were for intense economic development.
The new railways carried goods and passengers far more economically than the coaches and drays they replaced, but the difference in speed was not as dramatic as it had been in the wilder terrain of the eastern colonies.
Much of Melbourne's population loss during the 1890s was the result of the unemployed moving west to seek gold or employment in the burgeoning industries stimulated by gold.

 TrekEarth Melbourne Railway Station Photo
Flinders Street Station is a Melbourne icon, and one of the most-photographed buildings in the city.
Nice colours shows good exposure and good choice of ISO but, try to give the largest picture available on TE to give the full potential of the picture.
By the way, Chalcone, the dome is not cropped, there is only a spike above what one can see here :) Perhaps the image could be sharper, but otherwise it's fine.

 Walkabout - Yarra Glen
One of Yarra Glen's more impressive buildings is the Grand Hotel, at 19 Bell St. Built in 1888, during the boom period, this two-storey stuccoed hotel has a four-storey tower at one end, a masonry arcade along the street frontage, a cast-iron verandah and a parapet.
The Yarra Flats Hotel (also known as Bell's) was built on this road in 1865 and the Yarra Flats School was established in 1868.
Like others in the valley, they supplied goods to travellers en route to the goldfields at Woods Point (see entry on Jamieson), particularly when a major road from Melbourne to Woods Point was carved through the Yarra Valley c.1860.
