Tempe Basin Motor Boat Assoc Tramway 
Tempe, NSW

  It has been many, many, years since I dropped by to check out the tramway that was used to carry boats from Cooks River into a large nearby boat repair place.
  On my last visit, it was still very much in use and, while still mostly intact, part of the site has been redeveloped as a childcare centre and rail access between water and yard is no longer possible.
  A good three quarters of the boat yard is still there and, while full of boats and other guff, it all looks largely disused.
The old traverser is still in place, as is the numerous tracks that ran off of it. The new childcare centre covers the section that joined the main track that ran out across Holbeach Avenue and down into Cooks River.
  Given the future of the rest of the yard must be bleak, I thought I would snap off a few photos.

  Below be the result.
