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.

These toys are as durable as jello!
Color: Pink1, Color: Pink1
This is probably the worst product I've bought for my dog. These toys have the durability of a cup of jello, my small dog seen in the photo destroyed it in one night. Small dog, big dog or puppy, buy them high strength durable toys, my dog was smart enough to not swallow any small pieces she bit off but I cant say other dogs won't swallow the small pieces. I don't recommend this product for any dogs what so ever!
