AT THE STATION.

NORMANTON RAILWAY STATION.


Normanton : FAR NORTH QUEENSLAND

I love trains and railway stations This particular "Maxi card" first day release by Australia post shows this wonderful little train " The Gulflander" in the station that is located in the town of Normanton in FNQ...and is a very popular train with train buffs" worldwide ..who travel to this small town to see and ride it to a town a few hours away called Croydon..The train lovingly is called the "Tin Hare" and carries goods to the far outlying farms and properties in the area..I and a bunch of friends and family had driven out here and excitedly booked our tickets for the following mornings journey.as sometimes the small allocation of seats is booked out.This train journey I must say was a really great experience and also a very unique train to ride..The train stops after a few hours travel in a place called "Black Bull" where local country women put on a morning tea" of fresh hot scones with "strawberries and cream""oh this was just so good..A few other stops were made along the line for locals to pick up deliveries from the train..I will attatch a few pics of my own from this great little train journey..Also I added a pic of the famous Aussie icon The Purple pub" that is also located in Normanton and a great place to blow the froth off a few cold beers in the north Queensland heat of the day..
