The reason I started this Newsletter/Blog Page is because my Partner and I have visited many Railway Stations while Caravaning in 5 different States of this Wonderful Country of ours. We also covered many historic sites in our travels. The above photograph was taken in September 2016, while we were traveling between Dalby, QLD and Tenterfield NSW. Aramac is North of Barcaldine in Central Queensland. We were there in July August 2015. We visited this Railway Bridge in 2014 and 2016. The first visit I left my camera at the Caravan Park, so Carolynn took some photos with her Mobile. This Photograph was taken at Peterborough in South Australia, in September 2015. We visited Broken Hill and Silverton in May and June in 2016, we were supposed to be heading t...

I had been in regular contact with the Bogan Shire Council as I was trying to get a Project off the ground for the Station, but now the Government has given the Council some money i don't need to keep on with my plans. It is amazing that the NSW Government has come good with a grant. The Railway Station was opened in 1884, when the Rail line reached Byrock. The town Girilambone is 45 kms from Nyngan and has a lot of Tourism potential. The tow...
