It took nearly 18years from planning to reach the opening of the railway line. Starting in 1883 with a preliminary route survey, some critics thought it would not be a worthwhile idea as the return on costs of such a short line would never be achieved. The main push which considerably helped the line to finally be built, was the growing of large scale wheat crops in the late 1890s in the Holbrook region. This agricultural commodity along with further assessments convinced government railway officials that the line could just be viable. It was determined that the lines construction costs and yearly operating expenses would just be covered by the goods and passenger carried. A report was collated and signed off in September 1900 approving the building of the line. The bill for the railway line passed both Houses of Parliament in early 1901. CONSTRUCTION STARTED The branch line construction started in July 1901 heading in an easterly direction from Culcairn to Holbrook and this enabled 3 branch stations Morven, Fellow Hills, Ralvona and a terminus station to be built at Holbrook. This diagram / map to the left is a post construction map used by the NSWGR for the branch line at Culcairn to Holbrook. The Holbrook line can be seen on the bottom snaking off to the right. It was approved by Engineer in Chief Henry Deane in 1901. (Credit- Map supplied by Ross Jackson) Page | 2 HRSI NSW | Issue 5 3 The line was a very easy grade of 1 in 132 and rose only 145ft along its length and was built by local labour expanding from Culcairn. Only Holbrook station yard had signals installed and these were not normally lit unless required. The other stations had no signals installed. The line was unfenced and thus drivers would need to be alert for livestock. The line opened for services on 5 September but was officially opened by the State Governor on 18 September 1902. Once opened in 1902, the short branch line saw an initially fairly busy schedule - despite speeds of only 20mph. Speeds later reached 30mph - which was quite common for those early 1900s era branch lines. With such a short line the services were operating both ways on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday and these trips would take on average around 40mins each way. They were of a mixed service type, which meant a goods train had a carriage for passengers attached at the end of goods wagons. These mixed trains connected at Culcairn with the Mail trains heading between Albury and Sydney. Critics predicted in the late 1800s that the line was built, that it would never be profitable due to limited local goods and passenger loadings. This lack of money was proven within a few years of opening with expenses outweighing income. By 1907 the costs were being met finally with some further years seeing quite a good profit margin generated. A NAME CHANGE The terminus station was originally called “Germantown”. The inappropriate name was changed very quickly in September 1915 following the outbreak of WW1 combined with strong anti-German feelings in the local community. The town’s new name – Holbrook - commemorates the successes of WW1 era Lieutenant- Commander Norman Holbrook who was a Royal Australian Navy submarine commander. SERVICE CHANGES By 1923 services to Holbrook were forever changed with the introduction of the new CPH petrol/diesel railmotors into service in southern NSW. The CPH services operated to a different schedule on a Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday both ways. Meanwhile the goods train only operated once a week on a Monday. Due to lack of patronage in using the CPH, this was dropped by 1924 and a mixed goods/passengers service was reintroduced which was more economical for the railways to provide. Over the next 6 years patronage decreased further and this saw the reduction in 1929 of mixed services to only 2 days a week. 17years later in 1946 this mixed service dropped to one service a week only on a Monday. By 1940s the train trips each way were taking about 1hour instead of 40mins. By the late 1950s, the steam era in NSW was beginning to give way to new motive power – diesel locomotives and by 1962 the Riverina and southern NSW were seeing the steam locomotives replaced by 48 class branch line diesel locomotives. CLOSURE With declining traffic and line maintenance costs increasing, the branch line saw all forms of mixed passenger services to Holbrook ceased in October 1970. This decline in passenger services was due to every increasing reliance on use of motor cars and buses removing the passengers from many of the NSW country branch lines. Regular goods services ceased in 1974. A few years later with lack of use and less maintenance, speeds restrictions on the line were in some places 10kph. The last official goods service finished in March 1978 with trucks replacing it soon after. By October 1978 temporary fences had appeared on the line indicating it was closed. The entire Culcairn to Holbrook line was booked out of use and closed officially in February 1987. In 2015 the Goods shed is used by a local Mens’ Shed organisation.

It should be noted that we have not had the opportunity to investigate or recommend any particular course of action. Severe windstorms on Sunday 24th August 2003 caused some major damage to some structures and landscape elements on the showground, particularly to the poultry pavilion and coral trees at the cattle stand. The poultry pavilion was damaged in the storm, however it is repairable. A proposal has been put forward to Council to construct a new building in its place, salvaging as much material from the damaged poultry pavilion as possible for use in the new structure. The stand of coral trees at the cattle stand was also severely damaged in the storm. Several trees were blown over in the storm and a number of trees have since been removed because Council and the Management Committee were concerned about the state of the trees and the risk they posed to the safety of those who work at and use the showgrounds.

  • Patterns of Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century Land Use by Punjabi Hawkers in Southern New South Wales, Australia
    225 D.H.R. Spennemann: Patterns of Land Use Patterns of Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century Land Use by Punjabi Hawkers in Southern New South Wales, Australia Dirk HR Spennemann Institute for Land Water and Society; Charles Sturt University ________________________________________________________________ Abstract.—At the end of the nineteenth century a large number of Punjabi men went to Australia to further their family’s financial and social fortunes at home. The majority of these men went into the hawking trade, providing a crucial service to the expanding Australian farming communities. Yet, in the dominant Australian settler narrative they have been characterized, by and large, as mere ephemeral players. Drawing on in‐depth research on the presence of Punjabi men in in the Riverina of News South Wales, one of colonial Australia’s most productive wool and wheat regions, this paper demonstrates that their relationship to the land was not nearly as tenuous as some writers would have it. Rather, the picture is quite multi‐facetted, with many Punjabi owning land, either as urban bases for their operations, as investment properties until their return to India, or as land that they farmed with the intent of making Australia their new home. ________________________________________________________________ Nineteenth century Australian society was heavily gendered and socially normed, with those who did not conform being watched with suspicion and often institutionalised.1 The common narrative was one of a white settler community, alienating land and making a livelihood for themselves and their family.2 As such movement was unidirectional,3 1.
