Good Afternoon,

The Official name of this Newsletter/Blog Page is,

'AUSTRALIAN HERITAGE RAILWAY STATIONS AND INFRASTRUCTURE"

Here is some info about our travels in 2014.

These were our wheels in 2014 when we travelled up the Coast of Queensland.

The end of May, beginning of June in 2014, we started on our way by traveling to Landsborough from Brisbane.

We arrived in Landsborough on the 6th of June 2014, staying for 2 weeks.

Landsborough Railway Station, was a very busy Station.

Our next stop was at Bundaberg.

We stayed at the Elliott heads Caravan Park.

Arrived there on the 27th of June 2014 and left on the 18th of July 2014.

We visited the North Bundaberg Railway Station, where the Bundaberg Railway Museum is Based. Worth a Visit if you are in the area.

Here's some more Photos taken at the Bundaberg Railway Station.

The Museum has a lot of Articles on display, and if your staying in Bundaberg, it is worth a Visit, even if it is only for the History of the Railways.

Our next stop was Gracemere, just a little way out of Rockhampton.

No Railway Station was still standing at Gracemere, but we were able to Visit the Archer Park Railway Station.

We arrived in Gracemere on the 18th of July 2014.

And Stayed for one week.

We actually visited this Station/Museum twice.

The second time we visited we went for a ride on the Tram above.

The Station/Museum is full of History about the Railways of the Area.

Worth a Visit if you are Visiting Rockhampton.

There is also a Railway Station on display at the Heritage Park.

Lakes Creek Railway Station.

Located in the Heritage Park at Rockhampton.

The next town we stayed at was Sarina, a Short distance from Makay.

We arrived in Sarina on the 25th of July 2014.

The Tourist information Centre was at the Railway Station, so just looked at the Station and did not Take Photos.

We did a few other things , learning about the History of the Region.

After staying for a week at Sarina, we moved on to Townsville, staying at a Caravan Park about 20 kms out of Town.

The Great Northern Railway, Townsville Railway Station. Photo taken in 1998 I believe.

We stayed in Townsville between the 1-08-2014 and the 15-08-2014.

When we visited the New Railway Station, the Tilt Train was just arriving.

The 7 Photos above were taken while all this was happening.

On the 15th of August 2014 we headed down south again, staying overnight at Sarina, then the next 2 nights at Gracemere so we could go for the Run on the Steam Tram from the Archer Park Railway Station.

On the 18th of August 2014, we traveled from Gracemere to Emerald.

Here's some Photos taken at the Emerald Railway Station.

More Photos of our Travels in Queensland in 2014 will follow at a later date.
