Transport History
All Australian history stories must, in some way, chronicle a history of transport. Without horses, bullocks, or camel, there would not be any history to speak of, so vast and forbidding is Australia's terrain. Railways in Australia date from the early 1830s. Unfortunately, it took until the 20th century for three different gauges used by the various states to move towards the standard gauge. Road transport continues to be a critical element in the Australian transport system. Aviation in Australia began after WWI with the formation of Qantas.
