The railways
We visited the Railway Museum in Rockhampton. The railways had a big part to play during the war.
As we travelled around I began to realise that these ornate timber railway stations are characteristic of Queensland rail, very different from the brick ones we see down south.
In the morning we went out to see the radio telescope 20 or so kms out of town. On another wayfaring trip we visited the radio telescope at Parkes but this one is an array of dishes on a long track that can act like one big dish.
More lovely memories but I haven't seen this statin. I like the way many of them have been restored and turned into museums.
