Viewing Album:  Australia-The Gulflander
 
By:Richard Gorddard
Dates:7/28/1988 - 7/29/1988
Album Info:The Gulflander is totally cut off from the Queensland Railway network and runs from Normanton to Croyden in the northern Queensland outback. These photos were taken in 1988 but very little has changed since then except the exploitation of the line as a tourist train. When I was there it was considered a secret train trip that was off the radar. I liked it that way.
