Puffing Billy - Forward View - The Complete Route - Gembrook to Belgrave (Australia)
The surprising success of the recently posted Driver’s Eye View video using video footage taken
from the front of the engine prompted me to consider posting the footage taken by a camera fixed just above rail level. For those who have already seen the 4 Part series of videos covering Puffing Billy, you may recognize some of the shots used in those videos, repeated in this one.
This video covers the whole line from Gembrook to Belgrave, although just before Monbulk Creek Trestle the view switches to a camera mounted on the locomotive hand rail due to the batteries in the track level camera running out of power.
The view is unusual, giving a totally different prospective of the route as we leave the pleasant suburbs of Gembrook, passing into open countryside before plunging into the eucalyptus trees of the Wright Forest, our train crosses wooden trestles bridges and passing pretty wayside stations along the way.

Brisbane & Spirit of the Outback (Train) - Part 1 - Brisbane to Maryborough.
Australia's “Spirit of the Outback” lives up to its name and Brisbane is a vibrant city with something for everyone. Maybe you live in Brisbane and fancy doing something completely different, chill out, see the outback as you’ve never seen it before, spend a day or two in Longreach, visit the Qantas Museum, or maybe like me you are visiting from overseas and want to get a feel for the real Australia. Most people have heard of the “Ghan”, but few know anything about the “Spirit of the Outback”, to start with its great value for money (look out for the offers). The ever changing view from the window is something airlines can’t offer, the classic stainless steel carriages remind me of the days before budget air travel, when luxury trains connected cities, many travelling overnight, offering the chance to simply relax and soak up the amazing scenery, whilst enjoying first class cuisine with a glass of local wine in the comfort of the lounge or restaurant. The on-board staff are excellent, nothing is too much trouble, working on the train is more than a job to them, it’s a way of life, they take pleasure in sharing their train, making the journey something extra special. There is nothing quite like being rocked to sleep by the gentle swaying motion of a train and waking to see dawn breaking on an alien landscape. Join me for a look around Brisbane before boarding the train for the 1325 kilometre trip to Longreach. Part 1 covers Brisbane to Maryborough. Look out for Part 2.
My confession - the driver’s eye views, whilst convincing are fake, in reality the views were filmed from the back of the train and reversed to give the impression of a forward view.
The train is operated by QueenslandRail and the track gauge is 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in).

Australia’s Puffing Billy Railway 2019 - Part 4 – Lakeside to Belgrave
In the last of this series taking passengers on a return trip between Lakeside and Belgrave we enjoy more unusual views from the locomotive, passenger seat and line-side, including a selection of different views showing various trains on the famous fifteen span Monbulk Creek wooden trestle bridge carrying the railway over both the Creek and Belgrave - Gembrook road.
Once again I am grateful to Puffin Pete, Jeff Evans and the locomotive crew for their help in making this video possible.
Special thanks to Peter Stowell for allowing me to reproduce three photos showing G42 Garratt and NA Class N8 locomotives double heading a train across Monbulk Trestle Bridge.
