If you were a train spotting geek then this would be the start of your geeky checklist (items not on the list include a girlfriend, coordinated clothing and a life). Any train spotters I am sorry but you are right I am missing something, the Thermos and open toe sandals, whoops.

So we decided to join the throngs on a train journey from Driving Creek, on this hand built narrow gauge railway some several miles up the hillside to the owners “eye full tower”. It really was a feat of engineering by the old boy who maintains the trains and tracks adding tunnels, switchbacks and mountainsides made of wine bottles (ideas with what to do with your empty bottles).

The journey is very impressive and the views from the top simply spectacular, am I a convert, hell no, I’ll stick with a life thank you. Duanne Dibbley out.
