Whats new in Australia?

I was last in Australia in 2002. My dad lives near Sale in Victoria. My brother lives in Penrith west of Sydney. What are the latest goings on down under in the railroad world?

Queensland Rail, now QR National continue expanding operations across Australia, with talks of setting up in the Pilbara.

Coal is still number one here. Some railroads are buying new locomotives with SCT Logistics buying some Chinese locomotives

Thats about it really. I’ll let others enlighten more.

Cheers,
