Overland Train Service

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:38): Supplementary from the minister's answer: is he suggesting that the Overland no longer stops at Bordertown, and can he tell us what opportunities there are for people who do not drive and who obviously cannot fly from Bordertown to get to Adelaide?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:38): My recollection is that you could book a ticket to Bordertown and get on in Bordertown. I think there were a number of places in Victoria you could. I am not sure of any others in South Australia, whether you can do it in Keith or Tintinara, but there is a bus that travels between Adelaide and Melbourne, through Mount Gambier and up through Naracoorte and also along the Coorong, so there are a number of ways that people can get to Adelaide.
