The Meeting Place: A Social History of the Adelaide to Darwin Railway draws on oral histories, archival records and photos to tell the stories of the people who designed, built and depended on the railway: from turning the first sod in Port Augusta in 1878 to the completion of the new Alice Springs to Darwin line in 2004.
'The Meeting Place' covers:

the contribution of the railway to the social and economic development of South Australia and the Northern Territory and the cyclical fortunes of towns along the route
the overland telegraph and railway as a 'meeting place' of Aboriginal, settler and other cultures
Aboriginal people who took on leadership roles during construction of the railway, from Oodnadatta to Darwin
the indispensable role of immigration, with thousands of Afghan, Chinese, Greek, White Russian, Welsh Patagonians, Italian, Irish and Maltese workers
hard manual labour and life in the railway camps
the women who ran railway hotels and tearooms
the role of railway volunteers during World War Two
the 'Romance of the Rail', with nearly 100 years of travel on the Ghan between South Australia and the Northern Territory
the critical role of modern railway maintenance teams across remote Australia.

The 272-page hard cover book has been published by the AustralAsia Railway Corporation (representing the South Australian and Northern Territory Governments) to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the new Alice Springs to Darwin standard gauge railway.
Dr Jane Munday is a social researcher and community engagement practitioner based in Darwin, Northern Territory. Born and raised in Adelaide, she has lived and worked in the Northern Territory since 1994.

Great Product!
Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
My senior Aussie has been eating this brand’s sliced sweet potatoes for some time. However, as she aged she began to have difficulty with a whole slice getting stuck in her teeth and throat. So, I started cutting them in fourths, which helped. Then I discovered the French fried shapes. This is her first bag and already I know this is best for her at this stage of life. I expect we will be buying many more bags. We highly recommend!
