The Old Ghan Railway Station in Hawker
Australia

Panorama of the historic Railway Station from 1885 in Hawker 360 kilometres north of Adelaide, South Australia. Hawker is located 56 kilometres south of Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Ranges. The town is an important tourist centre and a service centre for surrounding pastoral stations. Between 1880 and 1956 Hawker was the second station on the Great Northern Railway between Port Augusta and Darwin.

The building was last used as a railway station in 1956 when the new Ghan railway line bypassed the town.

More About Australia

There are no kangaroos in Austria. We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in! Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party. This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality. The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself! Text by Steve Smith.
