After 28 years of operation, the Pichy Richy Railway in South Oz was forced
to close indefinately on 30 June as it was unable to source appropriate
Public Indemnity Insurance, even though in its long history, it has never
had a claim against it. ...
In South Australia, Pichi Richi Railway, Steamtown - Peterborough and Yorke
Peninsula Rail have ceased public operations. As stated, this is due to an
inability to obtain public liability insurance. I gather that three Tasmanian
operators (Don River, Derwent Valley and the Tasmanian Transport Museum) are
similarly affected, as well as some others around Australia.

Steamranger, Limestone Coast Railway and the Tramway Museum, St Kilda, SA
continue to operate for the moment.
