QUEENSLAND CANEFIELDS PT3 (OPERATION HURRICANE)

 

This was to be the biggest canefield trip I ever undertook.

The aim was to see how many different cane locomotives we could get in a two week period.

Below is a listing of what was seen, although the Moreton Mill, and a few preserved examples, have not been included.

As is usual, the photos following were taken over numerous trips and not necessarily taken during 'Operation Hurricane'.

Thanks to my travel companions Chris Walters and Daven Walters (not related as far as anyone is aware). We had many an escapade that trip, the stories of which are still told two decades on.

Can you help us preserve Queensland sugar railway history?

The Nambour Historical Society have received the very historic lift span section of the former Maroochy River bridge.

They urgently seek donations for the rebuilding and preservation of the structure at the museum.

Can you give a bit of help?
