Random Bollocks From A Semi-Retired Foamer!: April 2012

The Semi-Retired Foamer has been a railfan since he was around 5 years old, oh yes a very young age, an age when one really should avoid being involved with the gunzel community to any great extent. A few rather unsavoury people bringing that fact home.
After a few decades of train chasing, one decided to break with protocol and get married, thus leading to a severe cut in railfan activity.
Subsequent dealings with hate breeders, lunatics, mental defectives and self-appointed preservation overlords lead to an even greater decrease in my hobby participation.
However things have changed thanks to our small group of trusted mates, interest has returned, and now I have become a bit more involved yet again..
_
Over the years I have tried my best to further both the hobby, as well as the friendships that it brings. I have done this by setting up proactive groups both here in Australia, as well as the Philippines. It is with huge honour that I am often considered the founding father of the railfan hobby in the Philippines (my second home).
_
I don't take the hobby too seriously and I am a friend to anyone who is good and genuine. But never forgive those who have used their hate to destroy my hobby or hurt the friends within it.

Let's Make The Hobby Great Again!
I aim to share the era that I considered mine, the 80s and 90s. I also like to help promote, and even raise funds for, the various heritage societies that keep the era alive

~~ HOSKINSTOWN - MOLONGLO RIVER ~~

Starting at the very small platform and gangers shed that mark the location of Hoskinstown, we made our way towards the Molonglo River as we continued to head towards Captains Flat.
Despite the Captain Flat portion of our trip being very railway biased, I have been surprised to find both my electronic game loving boys wanting to go back again.

Later this week, Bungendore through to Hoskinstown.

~~ CAPTAINS FLAT 2012 ~~

I had typed up a whole long article about this day and the town, but the pathetic service and reliability of the the Google Blogger sites has lead to it all disappearing AGAIN.

So you are left with only the shots.

Later this week I shall cover the rest of the line back towards Bungendore.

LAKE GEORGE MINE

In coming days we will cover the line further back towards the junction at Bungendore.

The Captain Flat Association is now on FACEBOOK.
