Good one Colin 👌👍

a wonderful ride i have been on years ago

This looks like it is going to be fun. The low light through the trees make it look magical. Also I can't help thinking Gembrook Cockatoo sounds like the Aussie version of the Maltese Falcon. :D

Spent 18 years of my life in Gembrook and Cockatoo. Only problem was, every time it got windy or stormy the power went off.

That bloke on the platform at Gembrook seemed to have a doppleganger at Fielder. 😄 An interesting contrast just after I've been watching over 7 hours* of "driver's eye" videos from another 762mm gauge railway, namely the Alishan Forest Railway in Taiwan. Earlier this month it has been fully reopened after being severed by major typhoon damage 15 years ago. In just over 70km, about 50 tunnels, a triple spiral and 2 zig-zag/switchbacks, an elevation difference of over 2400m, passing from tropical to temperate climates. Mostly diesels, but they DO have Shays. I've yet to ride behind one of the latter though. * Not all in one sitting. 😆

How long does it take from Belgrave to Gembrook on Puffing Billy.? 🤔

Had 3 trips already, time tk do a 4th, dam beautiful countryside, ❤😊

Question: why does there appear to be two stations at Gembrook? A couple of hundred metres out from the current station terminus there’s another platform and series of station buildings on the right (with a platform name board).

Did you film this on your day off Colin ?

👍
