Absolutely fantastic to see old Mackay Town. I grew up in Coppabella and we come to town for our grocery shopping. Always a trip down to the harbour to see the Ships and regularly saw trains down the branch. Dad was an acting Train Operations Inspector there in the early 90's.
@@reidgck I drive steam for QR in Brisbane and Yes the smell of Blair Athol coal never loses it's appeal. Im working on BB18 1/4 1079 today infact, on Steam Train Sunday round the inner city Big Circle. I miss the North though...
Love this film my dad was a station master in Sarina from 67 on. Brings back great memories of him, QR and Sarina, thank you 😎
Awesome, I was there for the 67 season as a fireman, had a ball. Thank You.

Love the aroma in the air during the sugar season when the steam locos were trooped out to transport the sugar
