Fly Fishing Australia EP 1: Snowy Mountains
This Winter we packed our bags and headed south to meet up with our friends from Aussie Fly Fisher. Our first stop was in the Snowy Mountains, where we met up with local guide Mickey Finn. Even though we only had two days in the Snowy's we had a chance to target rainbow trout on a one-day float trip and then sent it up into the mountains to find some wild brown trout. Ready about the full trip here:

A Visit to the Bay of Islands Vintage Railway (November 16th, 2019)
The 3rd day of the Northland trip consisted primarily of a trip to Kawakawa, the purpose of which was to ride on the Bay of Islands Vintage Railway. This is currently a 3 kilometre line running from Kawakawa to Taumarere, and it is notable for the short street-running section in Kawakawa.
Originally the line was part of the 19 kilometre long Otiria to Opua branch, which was connected with Whangarei in 1925. Previously a tramway had been built from Kawakawa to the wharf at Taumarere. This was upgraded to railway standards in 1877. When the line was extended to Opua in 1884, the wharves were closed and replaced by the new port.
Between 1925 and 1956, a steam-hauled passenger service (The Opua Express) ran between Auckland and Opua. When diesel railcars took over in 1956, the service started running to Okaihau instead of Opua. Passengers from Kawakawa had to ride on mixed trains instead. These trains lasted until 1976 (the railcar serving having ceased in 1967). After 1976, the Opua line remained in operation to serve of the dairy factory at Moerewa and an AFFCO Meat Works. By the 1980s, containerisation was establishing itself as a new means of transporting goods, and less ships made the trip to Opua. This resulted in the decline of freight trains beyond Kawakawa.
1985 was the last time regular freight trains ran to Opua. From then on, it was leased to the Bay of Islands Vintage Railway to operate heritage passenger services from Opua to Kawakawa.
For a while, the track from Otiria to Kawakawa was retained as a link to the national network. This has since been dismantled and is now used as a footpath connecting Kawakawa with Moerewa.
Tourist trains from Kawakawa to Opua shut down in 2001, when the line's operating licence was withdrawn. Train services have since been re-instated over the 3 kilometre section from Kawakawa to Taumarere.
The engine running on this occasion was a Drewry 0-6-0 diesel shunter. Two engines of this design were built in 1949, originally for the Whakatane Board Mills Railway. The pair appear to resemble the New Zealand Railways DS class, and the British Rail Class 03. In 1999 the engines were withdrawn from Whakatane service, and sent to Forest Loaders of Portland. There they stayed until 2017, when they were transferred to their new home in Kawakawa.

Cityrail Hunter Passenger Train In Heavy Rain - PoathTV Australian Railways
'And the lord saith unto Noah Build me a railcar 3 cubits wide and 20 cubits long, then fill it with 2 of every type of bogan...'
Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail will stop me from filming a train! Although by the third day of this sort of weather I began to wonder if a trip to NSW to film trains had been such a good idea. Thankfully the sun did eventually come out of hiding every now and then, however this Cityrail Hunter Railcar is seen during one of the many heavy downpours that I had to endure.
The Hunter railcars are the latest addition to the Cityrail diesel railcar fleet, having entered service in 2006, and operate exclusively in the NSW Hunter Valley.

The Former Ambassador Robert Thornton - Back On Top
For generations The Thorntons were a family of trememndous wealth, position and power. A Captain of Industry and British Ambassador to Countless Nations over the years, Ambassador Robert Thornton lived the high life. Then it all went wrong. Stripped of his positions, privilages and assets he now survives hand to mouth in the most modest of accomodation with his wife, Mrs Thornton.
Will he ever regain his former standing or is he destined to remain in the back of a rotting two birth Bedford Bambi Caravanette?
He was upper crust, now he can't even earn a crust and as a result, is forced to survive... on crusts.
He was high society now he's low rent. We hope you enjoy the riches to rags adventures of The Former Ambassador Robert Thornton.
NSW Cityrail Endeavour Passenger Railcars - PoathTV Trains & Transport in Australia
NSW Cityrail Endeavour passenger railcars pass by a cemetery near Maitland, NSW.
The Endeavour railcar is a Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) built by Adtranz, entering service in 1994. The Endeavours were built in conjunction with the CountryLink Xplorer railcars. The two types of trains are very similar, the basic design was adjusted to be suitable for relatively short journeys in the Endeavours and for long distance journeys in the Xplorers.
A factsheet about the railcars is available on the Cityrail website
HO scale ready to run models of the Endeavour & Xplorer trains will soon be available from Southern Rail Models .
