History
Western Australia's early settlers were impressed by the Darwin ranges thick forest of jarrah or swan river Mahoganey as it was then known. The line was built and opened in 1872 as a timber railway and ceased operation in 1962 within a few days of the opening of the railway a nearby sawmill was erected by the Rockingham jarrah company this now lies abandoned and will be made into its own report when I actually explore it.
The explore was relaxed other than the horrendously large spiders and the 35-degree heat. all photos are shot with my Nikon d3200 and kit lens.
One of the sawmill in action. credit to 014738PD: No. 3 Mill, Jarrahdale, 1900-1910
and one of the railway. credit to 1458B/3: Locomotive 'Rockinham' hauling logs, Western Australia, ca. 1900-1910.
Any clues as to what car this is?
I found it quite weird that the track was missing in places but not in others.
And thats about it from here nothing to exciting but ive explored worse. Cheers for viewing.
