QUEENSLAND CANEFIELDS PT1

 

It does not take a degree in rocket science to know that this will be a similar series to those I have already done on South Australia and Queensland, where I list all sightings over the various trips and share photos from  same.

As with earlier posts, the photographs are just randomly picked and do not necessarily match the trip listed.

If you would like to share further information, or updates on the locomotives shown, feel free to email me.

If you have an interest in Queensland cane railways I recommend the 'Light Railway Research Society of Australia'.
