Think it starts running again soon. Brisbane to Adelaide via Victoria.

Brisbane via Victoria to Adelaide and onto Perth.

Am quite partial to some steam action, especially on the Southern Downs, a few hours from Brisbane.

My favourite outing to Wallangarra suffered recent bushfire damage, so the trip above will now be shortened to Stanthorpe after several bridges got burnt.



Its wait and see if they will be rebuilt. The line is lightly used.

That's a bummer. Hate to see that. It's happened a few time down in Vic with the high trestle bridges on the high country line before and Muckleford/Maldon line.
I guess they run diesels this time of year due to bushfire threat.

One for Tonz, I enjoyed a couple of years ago. Beautiful South Island..



Run's from Port Chalmers inland through the gorges.

I liked the older corridor coaches.



And a couple of 51 class diesels departing Dunedin.
