Australian Heritage Railways: Lifehacker’s Complete List
In a road-obsessed society, many of Australia’s former railways no longer operate commercially, but that doesn’t mean they’ve disappeared entirely.

Wages In IT: Better Than Burgers, Below BHP
How much do you earn every week? The answer is more dependent on the industry you work in than anything else. Average weekly cash earnings in the accommodation and food services sector in Australia are just $539 a week. For mining, that number jumps to $2388. And for IT? The average weekly earnings for a manager aren’t too far behind the miners at $2306 — and female workers actually do better than men. PLUS: check out our interactive spreadsheet and compare take-home pay for more than 350 job categories in Australia — everyone from forklift drivers to teachers.
