The pace picks up, but not there yet.
Not Wingfield, Tailem Bend or Outer Harbor.

Not Islington.
If I can catch up today for the work not done yesterday, I can put up the view today as a clue, tonight.

Clue not needed; we have a winner.
Port Pirie, at the corner of Ellen St and George St, looking at what was then BHAS, and now is Nyrstar, smelting lead and zinc from Broken Hill ore.
The steam loco in the wider view was a SAR T-class loco, on 1067 mm gauge. This photo was 1969, the final year of that gauge into Port Pirie after about 80 years. The section from Broken Hill was under conversion to standard gauge (1435 mm), and would be completed in 1970.
PDU can help himself to the usual self-serve reward. As a Victorian, I don't recommend Southwark, but there must be people who do drink it.
With the reward comes the responsibility for providing the next challenge.

Southwark is the nectar of the gods but is pretty hard to get even in SA.

The first time I went to South Aus., about fifty years ago Southwark, pronounced "Suth-ik" was the beer of choice. My god it was awful. More recently I was there and Suth-ik was OK. It was everywhere, I don't know about now.

May be PDU or another Sandgroper can let us know.

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

Wait until you visit NZ, they deliver their beer in tankers. The only beer I really liked in SA was and is Coopers Stout.

arent sand gropers from WA? Coopers is the only beer thats still brewed here apparently but I love Southwark and West End, at least I did when I was drinking, 97 days on the wagon.
