Are we talking about tramway as in light industrial or secondary railway or tramway as in rails running down the street? I can’t think of any street tramways of 1067mm gauge but the Tarrawingee Tramway and the Silverton Tramway were both in NSW and both 1067mm gauge. Both were actually railways although they did run down various streets in Broken Hill.

Condong was 610mm and I can’t find an enabling Act for the ZZR

Broken Hill, run by Silverton Tramway on behalf of NSWR.
Albury: Hume Weir construction. I am not checking the detail. After 80 years of disagreeing re mainline gauge, the two states did it again: the public-works departments differed. One state used 914 mm; the other used 1067 mm. There was a dual-gauge bridge over Murray River. There was also some 610 mm gauge in the works area.
I am not checking the gauge of Condong.

Under what enabling act was ZZR built?

"Roy" royhinkley@... was there a 1067mm gauge tramway in NSW?
