  TWO gauges? &nbsp;No. &nbsp;Three. &nbsp;3&apos;6 had the greatest number of km of track in the largest number of states. ( 5 states) &nbsp;5&apos;3&quot; was laid in two states ( with a bit in Tasmania as well) And a single state used 4&apos;8 1/2&quot;. So can you guess what was chosen to be the future standard for all Australia? &nbsp;The same illogicality that created the problem remained when the problem was to be solved.

  That Earthquake at Meckering might have been Australia&apos;s biggest earthquake but in 1989 a more devastating Quake happened In Newcastle which claimed 13 lives sadly most of them in The Workers Club in Newcastle NSW
