South Australia (abbreviated as SA) is a state in the southern central part of Australia. It covers some of the most arid parts of the continent. With a total land area of 983,482 square kilometres (379,725 sq mi), it is the fourth largest of Australia's states and territories.
South Australia shares borders with all of the other mainland states, and with the Northern Territory; it is bordered to the west by Western Australia, to the north by the Northern Territory, to the north-east by Queensland, to the east by New South Wales, to the south-east by Victoria, and to the south by the Great Australian Bight and the Indian Ocean. With over 1.6 million people, the state comprises less than 8% of the Australian population and ranks fifth in population among the six states and two territories. The majority of its people reside in the state capital, Adelaide. Most of the remainder are settled in fertile areas along the south-eastern coast and River Murray. The state's colonial origins are unique in Australia as a freely settled, planned British province, rather than as a convict settlement. Official settlement began on 28 December 1836, when the colony was proclaimed at the Old Gum Tree by Governor John Hindmarsh.

Australia (/ɒˈstreɪliə/, /ə-/, colloquially /-jə/), officially known as the Commonwealth of Australia, is an Oceanian country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. It is the world's sixth-largest country by total area. Neighbouring countries include Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and East Timor to the north; the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu to the north-east; and New Zealand to the south-east.
For about 50,000 years before the first British settlement in the late 18th century, Australia was inhabited by indigenous Australians, who spoke languages grouped into roughly 250 language groups. After the European discovery of the continent by Dutch explorers in 1606, Australia's eastern half was claimed by Great Britain in 1770 and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Wales from 26 January 1788. The population grew steadily in subsequent decades; the continent was explored and an additional five self-governing crown colonies were established. On 1 January 1901, the six colonies federated, forming the Commonwealth of Australia. Since federation, Australia has maintained a stable liberal democratic political system that functions as a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy comprising six states and several territories. The population of 24 million is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated in the eastern states and on the coast.

My account of the visit to S.A by Steamrail Victoria's R761 Locomotive in 1987. The tour was organized to celebrate and commemorate the running of the first steam powered Intercolonial Express between Adelaide and Melbourne in 1887 Footage was taken with a bulky hand (and shoulder) held VHS camera - so my apologies for the 'shaking'. We follow the train to Peterborough, Victor Harbor and Tailem Bend. This is no 'Hudson Through The Hills' production...but I hope you enjoy it all the same.

In South Australia I was born,
Heave away, Haul away!
In South Australia, round Cape Horn,
bound for South Australia
Haul away, you rollin' king!
Heave away, Haul away!
Haul away, Oh hear me sing!
We're bound for South Australia
As I rode out one morning fair,
Heave away, Haul away!
'twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair,
bound for South Australia!
Haul away, you rollin' king!
Heave away, Haul away!
Haul away, Oh hear me sing!
We're bound for South Australia
I shook her up, I shook her down,
Heave away, Haul away!
I shook her up and down the town!
Bound for South Australia!
Haul away, you rollin' king!
Heave away, Haul away!
Haul away, Oh hear me sing!
We're bound for South Australia
There's one thing that does grieve my mind,
Heave away, Haul away!
It's leaving Nancy Blair behind,
we're bound for South Australia
Haul away, you rollin' king!
Heave away, Haul away!
Haul away, Oh hear me sing!
We're bound for South Australia
And as we wallop around Cape Horn,
Heave away, Haul away!
You wish to God you'd never been born!
bound for South Australia!
Haul away, you rollin' king!
Heave away, Haul away!
Haul away, Oh hear me sing!
We're bound for South Australia
Haul away, you rollin' king!
Heave away, Haul away!
Haul away, Oh hear me sing!
