Lineside Liaisons #12 Kandanga

A bit of colour at Kandanga Railway Station in Queensland, Australia.

Australia has no shortage of quirky and colourful names when it comes to old railway stations, and Kandanga on the Mary Valley line is not only one of them, but has a pretty colourful old cream shed still standing beside the tracks. I took this photo on my iPhone when passing through in February 2017, and the photo and my accompanying poem 'Biding time in Kandanga' is featured inside my book Last Train to Brisbane. The Mary Valley Rattler train that once called at the station last passed through in 2012.
