South Australia
South Australia shares borders with all of the other mainland states, and with the Northern Territory; it is bordered to the west by Western Australia, to the north by the Northern Territory, to the north-east by Queensland, to the east by New South Wales, to the south-east by Victoria, and to the south by the Great Australian Bight and the Indian Ocean.[4] With over 1.6 million people, the state comprises less than 8% of the Australian population and ranks fifth in population among the six states and two territories. The majority of its people reside in the state capital, Adelaide. Most of the remainder are settled in fertile areas along the south-eastern coast and River Murray. The state's colonial origins are unique in Australia as a freely settled, planned British province,[5] rather than as a convict settlement. Official settlement began on 28 December 1836, when the colony was proclaimed at the Old Gum Tree by Governor John Hindmarsh.
As with the rest of the continent, the region had been long occupied by the indigenous Aboriginal peoples, who were organised into numerous tribes and languages. The first British settlement to be established was Kingscote, Kangaroo Island, on 26 July 1836, five months before Adelaide was founded.[6] The guiding principle behind settlement was that of systematic colonisation, a theory espoused by Edward Gibbon Wakefield that was later employed by the New Zealand Company.[citation needed] The goal was to establish the province as a centre of civilisation for free immigrants, promising civil liberties and religious tolerance. Although its history is marked by economic hardship, South Australia has remained politically innovative and culturally vibrant. Today, it is known for its fine wine and numerous cultural festivals. The state's economy is dominated by the agricultural, manufacturing and mining industries. The state has an increasingly significant finance sector as well.

Places to see in ( Bawtry - UK )
Bawtry is a small market town and civil parish which lies at the point where the western branch of the Roman road Ermine Street crosses the River Idle in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England and met the Great North Road. Nearby towns include Gainsborough to the east, Retford south south-east, Worksop to the south-west and Doncaster to the north-west. Historically within the West Riding of Yorkshire.
Bawtry is located in the metropolitan borough of Doncaster on the border with Nottinghamshire, and is situated between Bircotes and Misson at the conjunction of the A614, A631 and A638 roads. The present A638 was for centuries the Great North Road, and in the 20th century the town was a notorious bottleneck, until it was bypassed in 1965. The county boundary with Nottinghamshire runs just to the south of the town and for this reason the southernmost house on the Great North Road is named 'Number One Yorkshire'.
The town's former prosperity was based on its communications, the River Idle in the days when it was a port, the Great North Road in the coaching era, and the Great Northern Railway.
Bawtry has a school called Bawtry Mayflower School named after the ship Mayflower, which took William Bradford, leader of the Pilgrims, to the Americas, settling the first Plymouth Colony. Bradford lived at Austerfield, close to Bawtry. The White Hart in Swan Street is the oldest surviving pub in Bawtry dating back to 1689. The older Swan Inn, also in Swan Street, is still intact, but converted to other uses.
South Parade is a terrace of Georgian houses. The Market Hill and High Street contain other buildings of that period, interspersed with more recent developments. The Courtyard in Bawtry is a modern development hosting a variety of shops and businesses. The entire development was designed by Graham Smith Design, who went on to win the Green Apple Awards 2005 in recognition of the efforts to preserve and enhance the heritage of Bawtry.

Walton Old Junction 01/08/12
Wednesday 01 August 2012. A decent couple of hours at Walton Old Junction this morning. My sole priority was to capture 60074 but it remained in Arpley Yard all day whilst 60065 and 60049 worked the coal circuit. Although it was very windy at times, the rain mostly kept off. Highlight for me today was 60049 sounding great & clagging nicely, as for 60074... there is always tomorrow ;)

SteamRanger locomotives Rx207 and 621. Photostop at Middleton. 13-10-2012
This video is of the photostop at Middleton (South Australia) on the return journey with SteamRanger steam locomotives Rx207 and 621 whilst hauling the SteamRanger special 'SteamRanger Experience' train from Mount Barker to Victor Harbor and return. 13-10-2012.
On the 13th of October, 2012, SteamRanger Heritage Railway operated a special train called SteamRanger Experience from Mount Barker to Victor Harbor and return.
Steam locomotive 621, (assisted by diesel 958) departed Mount Barker with a consist of first class and economy class steel passenger carriages as well as former Victorian and South Australian Railways first class sleeping carriage 'Finniss' (a total of 6 carriages of approximately 240 tons) and headed for Philcox Hill where diesel 958 was uncoupled from the train. 621 then took the train solo to Strathalbyn and then onto Goolwa.
While those in First Class and Premium Economy Class passengers alighted from the train (First Class passengers had lunch at Cafelicious at Goolwa and took a short cruise on the paddle steamer Oscar W and Premium Economy Class passengers had lunch at the Goolwa hotel) Rx207 took the front 2 steel passenger carriages as well as an 80 series wooden baggage carriage onto Port Elliot (where 1 steel car was detached into the holding road and Port Elliot class passengers had lunch at Port Elliot) then continued onto Victor Harbor with the remaining steel carriage and the baggage carriage where Rx207 was turned and awaited for 621.
After activities (lunch and Oscar W cruises) were completed and 621 returned from Goolwa depot after having been serviced (watered and coaled), 621 took the rest of the train (3 steel carriages and Finniss) onto Port Elliot picking up the steel carriage and passengers at Port Elliot then proceeded onto Victor Harbor where Rx207 acted as 'yard pilot' shunting the entire consist back together for the return to Mount Barker while 621 turned on the turntable.
After the shunting at Victor Harbor was completed, Rx207 and 621 combined to double head the train back to Mount Barker. At Middleton a photostop was held then it was onto Goolwa depot where the 80 series wooden baggage carriage was uncoupled from the train. After departing Goolwa depot the double headed train continued onto Strathalbyn where a brief stop was made.
After departure from Strathalbyn, the train began the 1 in 45 grade climb towards Philcox Hill. With both steam locomotives working hard to haul the 240 ton train up the grade the sight, sound and smell of steam was magic (made even better for me being in Finniss and right behind the locomotives. After the climb to Philcox Hill, the train descended the final few kilometers into Mount Barker and ending what was a truly magical day out with steam. 13-10-2012
