Introduction:

This page is still in progress, but here are a few images to get started. The clouds haunted me for the majority of my time in Queensland. Funny how the clouds move in just as the trains come into the range of the camera.

I found that the best results were obtained during the early morning hours and later in the late afternoon/early evening (common sense). I would therefore use the 'cloudy' hours to learn the landscape and to seek out promising photo vantage points. However, if a train was nearby, I would indeed take an image to serve as a photographic record of the location.

I have arranged this page such that the images shown are ordered from Brisbane northwards. I followed the QR system from Caboolture up to Rockhampton then out to Emerald. My goal was to familiarize myself with the characteristics of the QR Blackwater System. Due to my limited time, as I was on my way to China, I concentrated on the railway between Gladstone and Emerald.

The location names that I have used are per the QR Network Access Line Diagram. Drawing number NAG_A2_013, revision 03, dated 31-08-01.
