THE AUSTRALIAN. TRANSCON. TINENTAL RAILWAY
The Press of Queensland and New South Walesis agitating the claims of the Pert Darwin to Bourke ronto for the transcontinental railway os against the Part Darwin to Oodnadatta line. The former, it is urged, would link ap all the terminals of the Eastern systema besides opening willions of sores of splendid pastoral country in the Northern Territory west of Camoowell. Southern interest in the Territory is increasing. Large pastoral syndicates are acquiring holdings there
and a further line from Port Darwin to the Far West coast ports is being pressed upon the attention of Western Australia na also calculated to open vast areas.
