Cape York Trip – Post 5

Einasleigh to Ravenshoe

 

 

 

Travelling from Einasleigh to Ravenshoe we were lucky enough to bump into Linda and Rick, and Jenny and Noel. We knew they were about but hadn't made any arrangement to meet up so it was really good timing that they were stopped in Mt Garnett as we pulled in.

Millstream Falls

 

 

As we were travelling from the west we practically drove past the millstream falls so had to go in for a look.

 

 

 

Spent the night in the old rail yards at Ravenshoe. Right next to the old rail station and this Steam Loco. Apparently the loco has been restored so that it runs. The local ?? society is in the processing of getting government approval to run it up and down the line.

It was built in the Ipswich workshops. Not sure if Dad recognises the number at all.

  1. That’s amazing that you all met up, without planning! What a happy circumstance. 🙂

    I’m almost certain dad will know that number and the train – will make sure he sees this. 🙂

    1. Thanks Annette. I am not sure he will remember the number. I asked him on the phone. He was miffed that it was painted blue though. Blue was only for small yard locos apparently.

      1. Yes, I got the same response re the colours. So he has found the link and looked at some photos. 🙂 Think we will need to make a bookmark or something though so he can get back to it. Maybe send an email with the link in it whenever you add more photos.
