Sandgate Cemetery railway entrance sign
Australia

This spot marks the entrance point of a now disused railway line that connected Sandgate Cemetery platform to the main line near Sandgate Railway Station.  The junction was only ~130 metres from this location.  The line was last used in 1985, but the rails, platform and this sign marking the point of arrival at the cemetery, remain.  Prior to 1933, funeral trains departed Newcastle Mortuary Station in the Newcastle CBD.  After Mortuary Station closed, the line was kept open to ferry Sunday visitors to the cemetery.  Trains departed both Newcastle and Toronto railway stations and proceded to the cemetery before departing.

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.
