  • Travel around the Bushland Loop and down the line to Mussel Pool on the 2ft gauge Bennett Brook Railway at Whiteman Park roughly 20km north east of Perth in Western Australia. The Bennett Brook Railway is run by the West Australian Light Rail Preservation Association (WALRPA) and is an impressive narrow gauge light railway that is well worth the visit. ‪@BennettBrookRailway‬

    I am currently halfway through one of your 4.5 hour epics (Southern Cross to Swan Hill), but am happy to take a little break to see more (Seymour?) of this lovely railway on the other side of the country. 😁 Life is good.

    Good to see semaphore signals and box controlled points being used. Is this a purpose built railway or has it been a part of a revenue railway?

    If it was a steam loco pulling the train it would be much more tourist orientated. A search of Australia should be made for small steam locomotive.
