Summary

Description
English: South Australian Railways Commissioner John A. Fargher, on his annual inspection of the railway system, in 1949. The location is the loading plant at the gypsum mine owned by Waratah Gypsum Pty Ltd at Lake MacDonnell, on the Eyre Peninsula. The following year, a new branch line was completed between the "Waratah Gypsum Company’s Field" (denoted as "Kevin" in 1955) and Kowulka, near Penong, allowing gypsum to be transported by rail. (Previously, an 8 km long aerial ropeway – its cables visible in the photograph – had been the mode of transport but by 1949 road trucks were being used; the ropeway was dismantled in the late 1960s.)
