12-2. T342. Sea Lake.

 

12-3. Nandaly. Well, it could be any railway station in the Wimmera-Mallee region of Victoria, actually. They all looked the same.

 

12-4. T342. Nandaly-Kulwin. It was a bad drought year and sand was everywhere covering the rails. Wind chutes along the track, meant to protect the track from wind-blown sand, afforded little or no protection.

 

12-5. T342. Kulwin. It was dusk by the time we arrived.

12-12. Korong Vale. WW77. Victorian Railways’ coaches didn’t get much more interesting than this. Imported for the new Melbourne-Adelaide Service in the 1880’s, this coach spent its last years as a Workmen’s Sleeper for the Rail Relaying Gangs that used to travel the state. I last saw it derelict at the Sandhurst Goldfields Tourist railway in the early 1990’s.
