    The Border Loop rail line was an amazing engineering feat. Completed in the 1930’s.
    The story is that the engineer who designed the line was given so much grief from naysayers he committed suicide just prior to its completion.
    It functioned perfectly.
    Story is Neville Bonner (senator for QLD) was one of the first people to travel on the line as a child.
    Now there was an exceptional aboriginal member of Parliament.
