I only watched half because it was drama overload. What happened to the days when Oz programs were delivered in a matter-of-fact sort of way? Do you remember Darryl Eastlake and his style of commentary? I think he was the guy that made things change. I'm not saying he was a bad guy (far from it), but he made everything sound so big.

Great episode. Entertaining as well as informative. Makes me want to travel to Australia, just to ride the rails!

It sure would have been nice to know what exactly does the very high or low tides do. I know it lifts or lowers the ship, but what's the big deal about that. Don't tell me the engineers didn't consider what the height of the loading hopper/conveyor, should be for either condition, if ??? that is the reason for this B.S. situation. If it is, some engineer should get a new job.

[@philippal8666]

It’s a storm out at sea, causing a tidal surge, apparently. The extremes of weather, are for the individual boats/ trains/ harbour to get through. The best loading systems aren’t for extremes.

Australia is approximately 7.74 million sq km, while the United States is approximately 9.83 million sq km, making the United States 27% larger than Australia. Australia has over 33,000km of track compared with the United States which has the largest rail transport network size of any country in the world, at a total of approximately 260,000 km (160,000 miles)... less than 13%. The Australian government made a decision long ago to go low-rent and not invest in their rail system and now they are sitting back and watching over 200 deaths a year involving trucks... apparently, the Australian people don't care enough to change it.

[@steveluckhurst2350]
