Peninsula Pioneer was launched at the Port Lincoln Railway Museum on 4 April 2006. Mr Bob Prout (Museum President) chaired the occasion and well-known local historian Mrs Margaret Tilsner officiated. Those in attendance included present and former railwaymen, interested locals, railway enthusiasts from Adelaide and Melbourne, and the Member for Flinders, Mrs Liz Penfold MP.
The book is dedicated to the memory of the late Mr Kim Bird, a railwayman and historian whose unfulfilled goal was to write a history of the Port Lincoln Division. We were honoured by the presence at the launch of his sister, Mrs Jane Booth, and her husband Edward.
