CANE TRAIN
-
Though the
LOOK OUT sign calls them a tram, there wasn't all that much to
differentiate them from the trains of the Queensland Railroads -
which ran on a 3ft 6 inch gauge. The cane trams were privately
owned, and ran on a 2 ft gauge. Irrespective of whether they were a
train or a tram, these narrow gauge railways were too much like the
"Toonerville Trolley" for us not to be cute. They were a regular
sight throughout Queensland, and particularly around Gordonvale,
where we were encamped. |
