We loved the tea and sugar train. Lived at Pimba then moved into the village of Woomera, this was in 1955. Will never forget how we got dressed up on a Thursday to greet the Tea and Sugar train.

That's so interesting, thanks for sharing! Is there any chance you would be willing to share some more information, either through email or video or a phone call, I am doing my masters of primary school teaching and graduating soon, I think this would be an amazing story to tell. Local history is so important and people who can tell these stories are so valuable! Let me know :) I have so many questions!

Precious memories how they linger in the hearts of those among the line. I would wager this could still work if attempted.

I used the Tea & Sugar train which taught me to plan ahead for meals, also being isolated I learned to cook!!

It was known as the Tea and Sugar going west. On its return it was the Bomber. It was a slow trip on the return.

I have the most wonderful childhood memories in the late 1970s to about 1982 on the Tea and Sugar train. Highlights of going from Port Augusta to Kalgoorlie. My father John Henderson would take us in the Xmas holidays on the train.

Who was the goose who organised the intro graphics and allowed 'RailROAD' Crossing' to get past the checker'. It's ALWAYS been 'RailWAY crossing' in Australia and it always will be.

Lived in Forrest in 68 & 69, when I was knee-high to a grasshopper, Mum taught me Grade 1 and 2 primary school. Remember the Tea & Sugar train, I've no idea how Mum raised 3 young kids in such a remote place. Can't say it did my education any good! 😁

I could walk around and my parents never worry about me or any of the other kids, my father worked on the line and then went into Parkston and worked in kitchen there ,back then it was a steam trains then ,maybe some of those who keep affending should be sent out there to work it would be a big wake call for them .
