The Inland Rail Network
Thanks, Gerry C, for sharing this information.
In 2018, Nevenka and I published our 26th edition of the Goondiwindi Pocket Book with the front cover story about the The Inland Rail Network, which was costing $8.4 billion, NOT $45 billion, and was meant to be completed in 2025. And now just stopping at Parkes , not Brisbane nor Gladstone. See: https://pocketbooks.com.au/articles/book-cover-stories/goondiwindi/the-inland-rail-network-melboune-to-gladstone-cover-story-ed-26
Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen) by Baz Luhrmann.
Thanks, Charles K, for sharing this link. This is a reminder of some useful messages, including the challenge of not knowing what your passions are. One of the lyrics says that many interesting people didn’t discover their passion till they were over 40!
