Palana Bay, Flinders Island.
[For the geographically unaware, Flinders Island is the largest of the Furneaux group, at the eastern end of Bass Strait.
These islands were originally a mountain range on the low “land bridge” which connected Tasmania to mainland Australia, until 10,000 years ago.
This photo was taken by a relative, in 1978. I assume the locality has changed little since then.]
THIS EDITION’S PLAYLIST
Due to a technical hitch, today’s programme started off on last Sunday’s playlist; hence, the first two tracks were repeated from that day. I had to make the necessary corrections “on the run,” as the programme went to air.

1867 The United States took possession of Alaska after purchasing it from Russia for $7.2 million. The event is celebrated annually in that State as Alaska Day.
1869 Lithgow, New South Wales – The ZigZag Railway, on the western side of the Blue Mountains, was opened to provide rail access between Sydney and inland districts. It was a major engineering achievement at the time, but operating difficulties influenced a decision to construct a bypass line in 1908. The Zig Zag railway closed upon completion of the bypass in 1910.
In 1972 a volunteer group was established to re-lay the track on the Zig Zag railway, but difficulties in obtaining locomotives and rolling stock from the New South Wales railways led to a decision to use a gauge of 3ft 6ins, as used in Queensland, Tasmania and South Australia, to allow use of stock from those States.
