Bombala line (NSW) & Orbost (VIC) Easter 2009.
14th April 2009 to 16th April 2009

Time for a bit of archaeology! Photos taken at Royalla, a small station on the border of NSW and ACT. This station is on part of the Bombala line that has been reopened as a tourist railway, but hasn't run since 2007. Also photos at the terminus at Bombala, and some shots on the closed Orbost line back home in Victoria.
