Here is a train's eye view of Dimbulah - jewel of the Mareeba irrigation district. The you beaut Savannahlander train travels this once a week all the way to Forsayth (in the middle of nowhere) where the line ends.

I have had the opportunity to travel as far as Almaden (near Chillagoe) on several occasions. I thoroughly recommend it. The country the line travels through is spectacular and it is one of the few remnants of an elaborate rail network that once existed in this part of the world.

I have spent a few days at Dimbulah, a small town on the way to Chillagoe. Nearby is a very eerie mountain outcrop called Mount Mulligan, the place where, in the early 1900s 80 men died in a coal mine gas explosion, one of the worst mining disasters in Australian history. This is a Youtube video I found of a flyover of Mt. Mulligan. More about its amazing history very soon.
