  RAILWAY TRAVEL POSTER“Travel across Australia by the TRANS-AUSTRALIAN RAILWAY: Go by train - Save Days”
  colour lithographic poster published for the Commonwealth Railways Commissioner and printed by A.J. Mullett, Government Printer, Melbourne, circa 1917, 62 x 49cm. Laid down on linen.
• Notes:
  In 1917 the existing lines connecting Rockhampton - Brisbane - Sydney - Melbourne and Adelaide were joined to the final sections which brought the Port Augusta to Kalgoorlie and Perth sections into the national grid. This poster appears to be a very early invitation to use the new cost-to-coast service. The first example we have seen.
