History

Rails into Renmark

From $55

This book is the first comprehensive history of the railway between Paringa and Barmera in the Northern Riverland Region of South Australia.
During its 55-year operational life, from 1927 to 1982, the Paringa to Barmera railway played an extremely important part in the overall development of the area. Including during the major floods of 1931 and 1956. While this book is primarily focused on the railways, there is also detailed coverage of some of the major industries that were initially supported by, and over time, provided reciprocal support to, the railway.
