Kaoota Tramway

Kaoota Tramway

This week we started from the Kaoota end of the Tramway, the other Ramblers group had the same idea so car parking was a bit tight.


Dead Quoll found in the car parking area (no reflection on anyone's parking skills!)

We are headed downhill










Some signs of the old railway

Discarded rail


and timberwork


and spilt coal


and sleeper







Yay!



The bridge over Thomson Creek

The swing at the turnaround point




Meeting and passing the other group.


The return











Lovely seats for those with time to spare


But we made our way to Brookfields for lunch


For more information on the coal fields Google 1983/5. The Kaoota (Sandfly) coalfield.
