In 1873, the Tasmanian Government Railways was formed when the Government took over the assets of the Launceston and Deloraine Railway Company, to put an end to constant disputes.  The Tasmanian Main Line Railway Company, which built the line between Western Junction and Hobart, and was also subject to disagreements, was next to be taken over.
The section of track between Western Junction and Launceston, which had been built by the L & D Company to 5ft 3in gauge, had been dual-gauged with a third rail, to enable T M L R trains to reach Launceston.

► LOOKING at events on 26 October;

► On 26 October, 1938, the Australian National Airways airliner Kyeema crashed into Mt Dandenong in Victoria, with the loss of 18 lives.
A radio navigation beacon, which had been installed at Essendon airport a year previously, had not been operating because the Civil Aviation Department had still not completed necessary adjustments.  Aviation experts claimed that if the beacon had been operating, the crash may not have occurred.

And in 1958, the wreckage of an Australian National Airways Avro 10 aircraft, VH-UMF Southern Cloud, was accidentally discovered in heavily timbered country in the Snowy Mountains by a carpenter engaged on the Snowy Mountains hydro-electric scheme.
The aircraft had gone missing in 1931, with the loss of 8 lives, during a flight from Sydney to Melbourne, in poor weather conditions.  An extensive search at the time failed to locate it.

In 1946, A camera on board the V 2 rocket No. 13  took the first photograph of earth from outer space.  The rocket, which was launched from White Sands, New Mexico, U.S.A., reached an altitude of 173 km.

In 1968, in Glenorchy, Tasmania, a stuntman was fatally injured when he fell 15 metres from a motorcycle during a high-wire performance at the Royal Hobart Show.  Two girls, who were also suspended from the motorcycle, were left trapped, but were later rescued.

In 1973, two survivors from a missing coastal freighter, Blythe Star, were found on a remote logging road near Tasmania’s East Coast.  The vessel had disappeared without trace over a week before, and the crew of eight had drifted on a life raft for 12 days, unseen by search aircraft.
The raft eventually drifted ashore at uninhabited Deep Glen Bay, and the two men had climbed cliffs and waded through thick bush to summon help for five other survivors.  (One of their number had previously died at sea.)

In 1976, Most of the south-east of the Australian continent was blacked out between 3.45 p.m. and 5.45 p.m. by a total eclipse of the sun.  Thousands of spectators at the Bombala racecourse in southern New South Wales popped champagne corks as the sun was blocked out by the Moon.

FRIDAY MORNING RADIO, Edition 490, 9.00 ~ Midday AEST  10 October 2025

Easy listening, retro and recent releases not to be heard on mainstream radio stations throughout the morning, on the Derwent Valley’s own radio station.

► LOOKING at events on 10 October, in 1957, Brisbane recorded its then hottest day for 64 years, with a maximum of 43.4 C.

On the same day, in Hobart, hundreds of people received a scare when a large object appeared in the sky at 7.42 p.m., which was the time the first Soviet Sputnik was due to appear.  Many believed it was the Sputnik, on course to crash near the Shot Tower in Taroona, and scores of hysterical people telephoned radio and The Mercury newspaper office.
The object was a hydrogen-filled balloon, launched by hoaxers from the University of Tasmania.  It exploded harmlessly, as the real Sputnik appeared over the horizon on its journey across the sky.

And again on the same day, in Windscale, Cumberland (Now Sellafield, Cumbria), England, a fire in a nuclear power station released a substantial quantity of radioactive contamination into the surrounding area. This remains the worst nuclear accident in Great Britain and is amongst the world’s worst . 

Moving forward, to 1960,  in Colombo, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Australian detectives, who had flown to the city, arrested 34 year old Stephen Bradley, removed him from the ocean liner Himalaya, and charged him with the kidnapping and murder of 8 year old schoolboy Graeme Thorne in Sydney.
Bradley had been on his way to England with his wife and own three children.

In 1964, in Tokyo, Japan, the opening ceremony of the 1964 Olympic Games was the first live Olympic telecast relayed internationally by geostationary communication satellite.

In 1968, Sydney, 23 passengers aboard a TAA Vickers Viscount turbo-prop airliner held on their seats, as the pilot flew dive aerobatics in an effort to free a jammed nosewheel.
The pilot’s attempts proved unsuccessful, so the plane was safely landed with it’s nose skidding along the runway.

► BORN THIS DAY…..

1914 – In Kirbyville, Texas, U.S.A. –  Ivory Joe Hunter (Actual name), rhythm and blues singer, pianist and songwriter Died 1974.

1956 – In Londonderry, Northern Ireland – Amanda Burton, Irish actress best known for her high-profile television role as Sam Ryan in the BBC crime drama series Silent Witness.

1958 – In Seminole, Texas, U.S.A.  – Tanya Tucker, country music artist who achieved her first hit, Delta Dawn, at the age of 13 in 1972.  She was one of the few child performers to go into adulthood without losing her audience.  She has had a number of Top 40 hits and many successful albums

► DIED THIS DAY…..

1985 – In  New York, U.S.A. – Yul Brynner, actor best known for his portrayal of the king of Siam, in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The King And I   Aged 65

On the same day, in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.  – Orson Wells film maker, actor, theatre director, screenwriter, and producer, who worked extensively in film, theatre, television and radio.   Aged  70.

2004 – In Mt Kisco, New York, U.S.A. – Christopher Reeve, actor, author and activist noted for his motion picture role of Superman.  After becoming a quadriplegic in a horse riding accident, he lobbied on behalf of people with spinal cord injuries.    Aged  52.

Today’s photo:
Mt Geryon, in the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park.
A fatality over the weekend has brought attention to the fact that there are many people who go walking in the area, without the necessary equipment.
Even in summer, weather conditions can change from blue skies to a blizzard, extremely quickly. Unprepared people will face hypothermia and death.
Both Tasmania Police, and the Tasmanian National Parks and Wildlife Service, can provide advice on what equipment is needed to survive such conditions. Both departments have staff who, every year, put their own lives on the line by walking out in adverse conditions, to rescue walkers who find themselves in trouble.
