The Castlereagh Line was a 910-episode Australian radio serial,[1] by Ross Napier.
It mainly concerns the see-sawing fortunes of Lottie Clemens and John ("Jack") Seager in the years from 1880 and later 1900. The title refers to a coach line they set up in the Castlereagh River area of New South Wales. Also the first book of a series telling the same story: The Castlereagh Line, The Castlereagh Way, The Colours of Castlereagh, The Castlereagh Heritage (out of print), The Castlereagh Rose, The Castlereagh Cross.
The Grace Gibson-produced Castlereagh Line has a musical theme which features more than a dozen vocal variations, each mentioning numerous stops along the routes. The vocals for these themes were recorded by Australian performer Johnny Ashcroft. The words were sung to the tune of Lily Bolero.
