The original hotel in this photograph was destroyed by fire.  The 2' gauge tracks are still there, and might yet see a tourist operation.

Yep always crowded. I think it's because the previous service to leave Springfield is 12 minutes earlier but the previous 6 were all 6 minutes apart, as well as being a good school service

Last time I drove to Nambour, I was lucky enough to see a Cane Train going through the centre of town. Can't remember how long ago that was. Do remember petrol was still under 100 cpl.

There is a price war on at the moment.  Nambour petrol price $1.29 a litre unleaded yesterday.
