Do You like Australia WW11 War History

Apologies Stephen! I was not trying to steal your thunder by feeding you information you already had posted in your blog.
Before I clicked the submit button by mistake I was about to tell you that on a video I had watched only two days ago John and Anne Morton of Lifestyle Productions had shown pics of Terowie in their video "The Old Ghan Heritage Trail". Hence my references to the Troops traveling the Ghan line.
Cheers

Thanks for the reply. Yes Terowie was a very special place indeed.

What are you doing on Sunday 20 March 2022?

The two contact document from the Army to manage the land are genuine original documents that the farmers sone still has in his possession.

How the site was name was obtained from army details from the Professor from Flinders Uni.

The only thing that I still have not found out is how many men actually guarded the site and an inventory of what was actually stored there.

I think I am lucky to have what I have and at least I know it’s real name and who it was named after.

Going through early SAR records but only one mention to say it east offical closing in 1948.

The platform was purpose built for the sole use of off loading munitions and nothing else.

The other purpose built platform in Terowie was called Bongoola and that was used for troops only

Keep this important date free..

I was impressed by the newspaper offices and blacksmith in the main street.

Yes indeed, there is so much history there and you would be surprised just how many drive straight past without even making the small detour into the town

Thank you Malcolm
