- Earlier this year whilst traveling to Seymour, something out the train window caught me and my friends eye. We decided to Investigate and found a location full of railway history. If you would like to visit this location, please respect the owners of the property and stay behind the fence - Many clips in this film are shot with a zoom lens.
Enjoy the video :)
In January 1954, a trainload of soon-to-be National Servicemen reversed into the Dysart siding, and out we got. First up was a "health" check which required us to drop our trousers for the doctor's 'intimate' inspection. Just at that moment, the Albury Express roared through on the mainline a short distance away. Passengers looking to their left would have seen quite a mixed display of male attributes.
Many weeks later, the entire Puckapunyal army population was transported to Dysart to see the Queen and Prince Philip pass by on the royal train, on their first visit to Australia.
Thank you for reviving these memories. An excellent production, carefully researched.
I (and I’m sure others) do Appreciate the work you’ve put into researching and presenting these videos, I have now subscribed. 🚂
I knew they were former military sheds looking at the picture before the video started, many similar ones also existed during WW-II in NSW, most of them had the name railway name "Commonwealth Siding" although, except for Bathurst, most have been demolished. Well researched and an excellent production and narration, keep them coming!
An interesting film. I wasn't aware of the role those sheds and former sidings played in Australia's film and wartime history and I have sometimes wondered about their former lives. Thank you for work on this interesting subject.
Great to see the old footage. Good stuff!
Very informative, well-researched, and professionally presented. You evidently have a passion for this type of content, and I would encourage you to keep following this passion. I look forward to seeing what you do over the course of 2023 and beyond.
Great video. Thanks.
Yes, really well researched and presented!
Cool video and very interesting, keep up the great content mate.
The siding and the 3 buildings at Dysart belong to the Deparent of Defense.
I remember Dysart around the late ‘70s with the rails in place and a little point frame. Every time I passed it looked more delapidated.
Interesting. Appreciate your work in making this. 👍
See more at Seymour. You need to cover the very unusually named victorian station called Tempy.
Great video!
