Rail gauge in Australia displays much variation, which is an ongoing problem for transportation on the continent. The most used gauges are * Standard gauge 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1/2 in) 17,678 km - mainly New South Wales and the interstate rail network * Narrow gauge (aka Cape Gauge)[1] 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) 15,160 km - mainly Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania as well as some of South Australia * Irish broad gauge 1,600 mm (5 ft 3 in) 4,017 km - mainly Victoria, some South Australia. While Irish broad gauge was the original standard agreed to amongst the colonies, standard gauge eventually won out, and many sections of broad gauge are slowly being converted to standard gauge.
