The railways of Australia helped build our nation. Many of the products we use each day have travelled by rail at some stage in their journey to you and rail transport contributes many billions of dollars every year to Australia?s economy. From home to work or across the country, passenger trains carry more than 500 million people each year that's around 25 times Australia's population! This map is one of a series of thematic maps produced by Geoscience Australia and reflects on Australia's impressive rail network. Whether used as a functional reference map or simply an outstanding wall piece, Railways of Australia is a must for all railway enthusiasts and industries that rely on the nation's railway network.
