In the Melbourne paper The Age yesterday were 100 interesting facts of <br/>
motoring history, including of interest to boundaryfreaks:<br/>
<br/>
84. Sydney-Melbourne [ie NSW/Victoria] rivalry may have beguin in 1861 when <br/>
Victorians constructed a bridge over the Murray at Echuca, luring Riverina <br/>
trade to Victoria.<br/>
86. When the Murray River was bridged at Echuca in 1878 by a rail bridge, it <br/>
was stormed on opening day by local residents who forced it to be open to <br/>
all traffic.<br/>
98. In 1904 South Australia set a general speed limit of 25kmh, although <br/>
councils could raise the level to 30kmh, which meant different speed limits <br/>
could apply on either side of the same road.<br/>
