Peterbourough had a number of trains that were around the town, preserved and standing strong. It was the location where one type of gauge of track changed to the other one (each colony had its own gauge). We had a spectacular lunch there.
Approaching Burra, we drove over the creek that had a tendency to flood from time to time. This photo contains some of the historic buildings included in the district that has state significance. There was hotel in Burra that we stayed at during a blackout where power was cut for a few hours. Everyone ended up at the bar, including us. Just like the old days.
While walking around on a historic tour in town, Cam snapped this photo for his Mom. We haven't yet printed it for her, but I think she'll see it here.
Coming from Houghton MI, Cameron & I really felt at home while passing through Burra. Even though we were a bit like the bloke in the middle (out of place).
Next post will be historic part of Burra including the mines!
