G'day all ..Until not too long ago we had a variety of different gauges of track in Australia . There are still a few places that do use narrow gauge but these are for specific use such as the sugar trains in Queensland, scenic rail here and there and in Tasmania (my home State) which is an island separated by 240 km or 150 miles of water with no rail link anyway . We use 1067 mm or 3' 6" mainline to this day . This old clip made a very long time ago shows an interstate frustration that existed for a few more decades after it was made because States took their own sweet time sorting it out..
