Port Arthur Railway Across the Tasman Peninsula – Australia's First Railway | William A. Bayley | 1971 [USED – SC – Out of Print – Reprint]

William A. Bayley's history of the Port Arthur railway — Australia's first railway, built across the Tasman Peninsula using convict labour in the 1830s. What made it remarkable — and what visitors to the Tasman Peninsula still find hard to believe — is that it was not steam powered. Convicts pushed the carriages along the track by hand, running behind and pushing, or sitting in seats at the rear and using their feet against the ground.
