What evidence to you have that David Mitchell's firewood tram was 3ft 6in gauge?

Hi All,
Perhaps this group might like to consider light railways with a gauge greater than 3-ft 6-in? Victorian lines that spring to mind are the McIvor firewood line (5-ft 3-in), the early horse trams of the Wombat Forest south of Bendigo (also 5-ft 3-in), and the David Mitchell firewood tram (3-ft 6-in and, later, standard gauge). In addition, there were heaps of very traditional "light railways" with a gauge of
3-
ft 6-in, especially in the Otway Forest and east of the Powelltown
