Old Ghan Heritage Trail Pt 1 - Port Augusta to Gordon Siding

This series of videos charts the route of the Old Ghan line between Port Augusta and Alice Springs.
In them, I visit as many sidings and fettlers cottage's as I can find and a few of the significant pieces of infrastructure that may still remain.
In Part 1, I go to:
00:00 - Opening Titles
03:45 - Port Augusta
07:05 - Saltia
08:11 - Woolshed Flat
12:30 - Summit
14:26 - Quorn
18:32 - Willochra
24:26 - Gordon
28:54 - Wirreanda Bridge
31:07 - Kanyaka Culvert

    Good job, you would think that the sidings and cottages north of Quorn would be restored, it would be sad to see the sidings between Quorn and Hawker vanish into obscurity.

    Sadly there is little but rubble remaining of the 3 sidings between Quorn and Hawker, so there's really nothing to restore. They'd have to be rebuilt, and I don't think that there's any interest (or money) to do that. Pity.

    Great video. It is pronounced as "GAN" not "GARN".😃 Take it from a former Commonwealth Railway/Australian National employee.

    It probably is, but that’s how I’VE pronounced it all my life, so what can I do?

    I've gone through the footage that I've uploaded since your embarrassing enlightenment, and corrected by either deletion or voice-over where I can, but some of the to-camera stuff still has my bumbling mistake preserved for posterity. It's the best I can do, sorry.
