Jervis Bay to Canberra railway..-

Another small snippet of information that featured in the Shoalhaven News and South Coast Advertiser in June 1913, about the long proposed but never realised railway link between Canberra and the coast. At this stage people would have thought it would become a reality,  land developers and speculators were eagerly buying and selling land around Jervis Bay with sometimes outlandish presumptions in anticipation of the coming railway that would turn the sleepy coastal villages of Jervis Bay into thriving cities.

Rumors like the one below appeared in many newspapers and fueled the fire of great expectation.
