An early Sunday morning photo on the Pyrmont Bridge over Darling Harbour in Sydney.
A quick look over the Australian National Maritime Museum on Sydney’s Darling Harbour. In the center is the Cape Bowling Green Lighthouse, built from iron plates on a hardwood frame. The lighthouse was relocated from just south of Townsville to Sydney in 1994.
The dog on the tuckerbox at Gundagai. This commemorates the poems, or songs, about the bullock-drivers, bullockies, and the pioneers of inland Australia. It was the bullock drivers that transported goods along mud tracks in all weathers to the early settlers. The bronze dog is the work of Frank Rusconi, a local monumental mason.
A close-up of the Big Merino in Goulburn. Apparently he is known as Rambo by the locals.
The Big Merino in Goulburn. The three-storey 50 foot tall concrete ram houses a gift shop, wool display and a lookout.
It’s not all mainline steam at Thirlmere. They have a big selection of ganger’s trolleys as well, like this Fairmont example. Fairmont Railway Motors built track equipment like this from 1915. In 1979 Harsco Track Technologies took over Fairmont.
Some random tourist block the view of the trains at the Thirlmere Railway Museum.
Behind us is 2029, a NSW Railways 2-6-4T Z-20 Class. In the background is 38 Class Pacific (4-6-2), 3820, an express passenger locomotive.
The long arm of the law finally caught up with me in Thirlmere. Here I am imprisoned in the NSW Government Railways BKD Prison Van. Four of these vans were built in 1915 and remained in service until 1975, transporting prisoners around the state.
