    Evolving the National Railway Museum – a 45 year Success Story National Railway Museum Lipson St, Port Adelaide South Australia 5015, Tel. +61 (0)8 8341 1690 www.natrailmuseum.org.au Dr John Radcliffe AM, FTSE Government-appointed Board Member [email protected] How it all began In 1960, several of those establishing Adelaide’s tramway museum at St Kilda, South Australia, recognised that a small tank engine, SAR P class 117 of 1893 was about to be scrapped. They envisaged taking it to St Kilda. There was no rail connection. In the event, and It was agreed that locomotive P 117 could be made available for a museum by the South Australian Railways. It went into storage on an industrial siding. It was realised that the physical and ideological problems of developing a combined tramway and railway museum would be difficult. A search began for a site for a separate rail museum. The Tramway Museum went on to develop separately, now with 23 trams and a two kilometre line. That is another story! ● St Kilda Tramway Museum Mile End Railway Museum ● A site secured was at the southern end of the Mile End railway yards on the western side of Adelaide, with direct 5’3” rail access already available A group of volunteers established an incorporated association, Mile End Railway Museum (SA) Incorporated, The members started developing and laying track on the site to accommodate exhibits The first locomotive to be shunted onto the site was P class locomotive 117, 24 August 1964 Large locomotives such as this “Mountain” type, built in Britain in 1926 and used to haul Adelaide to Melbourne expresses, arrived.

    PARLIAMENT OF VICTORIA PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES (HANSARD) LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY FIFTY-EIGHTH PARLIAMENT FIRST SESSION Tuesday, 11 October 2016 (Extract from book 13) Internet: www.parliament.vic.gov.au/downloadhansard By authority of the Victorian Government Printer Following a select committee investigation, Victorian Hansard was conceived when the following amended motion was passed by the Legislative Assembly on 23 June 1865: That in the opinion of this house, provision should be made to secure a more accurate report of the debates in Parliament, in the form of Hansard. The sessional volume for the first sitting period of the Fifth Parliament, from 12 February to 10 April 1866, contains the following preface dated 11 April: As a preface to the first volume of “Parliamentary Debates” (new series), it is not inappropriate to state that prior to the Fifth Parliament of Victoria the newspapers of the day virtually supplied the only records of the debates of the Legislature. With the commencement of the Fifth Parliament, however, an independent report was furnished by a special staff of reporters, and issued in weekly parts. This volume contains the complete reports of the proceedings of both Houses during the past session. In 2016 the Hansard Unit of the Department of Parliamentary Services continues the work begun 150 years ago of providing an accurate and complete report of the proceedings of both houses of the Victorian Parliament.
