It is with pleasure that our village is taking part in THE YEAR OF THE OUTBACK. Although, not now considered as part of the Outback we are well and truly on the way and our village formed a unique part of the Outback rail link. The great trains of Australia have and still do visit our station. The Indian Pacific, The Ghan, The Explorer are current users. The Silver City Comet has has been (although in the past) one of our most romantic and memorable visitors.
