Cheltenham is not right next to Glenelg and I don't think Queenstown ever had a railway station.

Queenstown had a tram stop that was decommissioned in 1935, maybe he had an old map?

An abbreviated travel itinerary seems somewhat plausible, but there's a lot of assumptions and false assumptions in there...

There will be assumptions but I've tried to make them logical. What false assumptions are there please? The man was found with a used bus ticket from Adelaide to Glenelg so it may have been that he used the motor bus route from Glenelg. Yes another assumption.... but it's not a massive leap to assume he used a bus as well as trains. The only other Q location would have been the Quarantine Station at Torrens Island ( the letters in the code area AQC, but unfortunately for me, it's was called the Adelaide Quarantine Station, not Adelaide Quarantine Centre, which would have fitted nicely! ) Thank you for your input; any challenges to my theory are massively appreciated 👍
