Mark Tronson’s vintage 1989 paperback, The Southern Aurora, recounts the golden age of Australia’s most glamorous express train. In 160 pages of lively non-fiction he follows the locomotive from 1962 until its final run, blending driver anecdotes with technical detail and national pride.

Collectors of railwayana and Australiana will appreciate this first edition for its era-specific photos, route maps and rolling-stock specifics. The narrative style suits both transport buffs and general readers curious about interstate travel before jets and freeways.

The copy shows gentle shelf wear: light cover scuffing, tiny corner creases on the opening pages and occasional page-edge marks, yet it remains tightly bound and unmarked inside. A pleasing, ready-to-read survivor from a smoke-free home.

Add this nostalgic chronicle to your train or local history shelf and let the Southern Aurora steam through your imagination once more.
