Silverton tank

The Silverton Tramway was built to a gauge of 3ft 6ins and ran from Silverton to Cockburn where it linked to the state railway network. When the main line was rebuilt in 1970 to standard gauge by the government between Broken Hill and Cockburn the Silverton Tramway closed with the section from Broken Hill to Silverton completely abandoned. The track remains in places along with this water tank at Silverton. When a friend looked into the tank it contained just a single Western Brown Snake!
