In 'Steam Australia', Tim Fischer takes readers into the fascinating story of steam transportation over ten vital decades of transformation in Australia's history. The book also covers the great named express trains hauled by steam locomotives over the decades, such as 'Puffing Billy', Robert Gordon Menzies or 'The Ghan'. Special topics feature things such as Albury's 'break of gauge' platform (where two state track systems met), the Amiens branch line (running through Pozieres and Passchendaele stations in Queensland), some important characters such as C.Y. O'Connor and many more. The book is illustrated with over 300 exciting images from the superb National Library John Buckland collection of photography, many never seen before. Steam locomotives continue to operate as a key part of rail heritage tourism in Australia, demonstrating the ongoing legacy of these engines. The great age of steam in Australia and Fischer's salute to steam locomotion and all that it has achieved for this country is fascinating and captivating to both train novices and enthusiasts alike.

Since the publication of the first edition, a number of changes have taken place in the Australian locomotive fleet. Four completely new designs of locomotive have entered service, and new examples of existing types have appeared under new ownership, as well as to existing operators, and some locomotives have changed hands. Aurizon, in particular, have taken a large number of older locomotives out of service, and many of their narrow gauge locomotives have been sold for further operation in Africa. The Second Edition reflects these changes, with new entries for the new types and updated information in the entries for those types affected by new deliveries, sale or transfer overseas. A number of new photographs are included to illustrate the new types and new operators. The high standard of photography that made the first edition so popular has been maintained. The same quality of technical data has been provided in the new entries and these have been included in the correct sequence to maintain the book's emphasis on technical development. The text entries have been revised to reflect the changes and the indexes have been completely revised to take account of the changes.
