Train Enthusiast’s Video Diary 2017-04-23 SR
On Sunday 23rd April 2017, we joined fellow boat, steam and train enthusiasts attending the second day of the South Australian Wooden Boat Festival at the River Port of Goolwa.
This event included a large array of activities and displays including a focus on steam, motor, wind and person powered wooden boats; many, if not most, having some age and interesting history.
A unique fact at Goolwa is that people can, at the water’s edge, take a ride on a steam driven paddle boat and/or on a steam locomotive hauled train. Further to this, that same train can convey people to nearby Victor Harbor via Middleton and Port Elliot, where a horse drawn tram ride can be taken across the wooden causeway at Victor Harbor out to Granite Island and return.
This video contains snippets of SteamRanger’s Rx207 steam locomotive hauling ‘The Cockle Train’ between Goolwa and Victor Harbor, and their ‘Red Hen’ set (334 - 824 - 412) from Victor Harbor to Goolwa.

Nice video as usual. Yes I've watched a few of your others, especially the local stuff ie SA.
I have some video from over your shoulder that day!
We joined you on the Red Hen ride from Victor back to Goolwa. Dad and daughter, introducing my young lady to the sounds and feel of the trains I rode as a kid:-)
A wonderful sideline to all the beautiful boats.
Hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did.

Thanks Gary for your comments. I'm amazed at the video quality that smartphone cameras produce...far cry from the VHS tapes of the past. Regards, Mel. (Adnoorak).
