A 2022 book called Light Railways in South Australia considers about 700 lines built for different purposes. The lines are mostly 610mm gauge (2ft 0in) gauge, which is almost the same as the 1ft 11.5in gauge of the Festiniog Railway.

Cog, Rack and Cheap Railways[edit]
John Blenkinsop invented the first cog railway in 1811. [1] He thought without proof tha frinct alone would not be enough to achieve usable friction between driving wheels and rails.
In 1860s Carl Pihl developed cheaper narrow gauge branch railways of 1067mm (3' 6") gauge for use in Norway to begin with.
Queensland adopted this gauge for main line use eventually used for 1000s of route-km.
It took until 1888~ for a break of gauge was needed at the border New South Wales border.
