G'day there! Thanks for visiting my site. Please don't forget to hit your "refresh" button for latest updates. Please enjoy! :-)

What's NEW ???

2011 has been a trying year for everyone, not just Australia wide, but world wide for many thousands of people and I myself will be glad to see the end of it! It is my excuse then, why nothing much was done updating this site during the year. I have managed though to add a couple of vids to my Video Gallery from my visit to Toowoomba during the Carnival of Flowers in September. Not the usual steamer vids but something a little different. Hope you like them! :-) In the meantime, have an awesome Christmas and a great New Year in 2012, a year, I am sure will be kinder and gentler to us all!

What's this site about?

First of all and probably most obviously, this site is NOT Queensland Railways official corporate site! What this site is however, is a place that my friends and I can place any images they like, from photos they have taken, in connection with any part of Queensland's Railways. It is a place I hope where, in my own small way, I can contribute to the preservation of images of Railway's in Queensland that can shared with everyone. I also hope that you will learn a little something about Queensland's Railways and Railways in general. Included on this site, is a page with a little about Queenslands Railways and its history, links to articles on how Railway related things work, a Links Page, and of course the Photo Gallery, the Video Gallery and now rail news Australia wide.

Copyright Note: As always, the copyright of each image remains with the owner. Provided acknowledgement of ownership is given, (just PLEASE ask as a courtesy) any image may be downloaded for personal use and used on any personal and non-profit organisation's web site.

Feel free to comment, or make a CONSTRUCTIVE criticism of this site. I assure you I am far from being a railway expert! If you believe I have made an error with any information anywhere on this site, please let me know. Just click on 'e-mail me!' on the menu bar and drop me a line.

For their valuable assistance in the creation and continued maintenance of this site, a special thanks goes to my good friend Arthur with his extensive knowledge of Queensland Railways and my good friends Jenn and Kerry for their input and advice on the site's design!

Say NO to Australian Government internet censorship! The Australian Federal Government is pushing forward with a plan to force Internet Service Providers [ISPs] to censor the Internet for all Australians. This plan will waste tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and slow down Internet access. Click here to find out more!
