Here's a list of Australian proposal threads. Please keep any comments relevant to the list. If you wish to comment on the addition of Australian routes and Australian railways, please do so in the most relevant thread below. Feel free to add to the discussion in any that interests you, or take inspiration from them to make one for a route you don't see here. If the state/territory you are thinking about isn't listed here it means there were no threads for it. So if you're thinking about that place hopefully that means there is a nice route that can be proposed. I previously created and would update this list within the 'Bring Train Sim World To The Land Down Under' general discussion thread. I felt that it would be worthwhile to create its own thread now so that the thread name is more descriptive and easier to find. Also so the discussion within the Down Under thread is no longer taken over by the list.

Have a Western Australia Route that you can add the Mandurah Line. In my family, my mum's sister uses it from Wellard to Perth. Although she used the Midland Line at Bassendean railway station before moving to Wellard
