I was born in Melbourne Australia in 1952 and I live in Brisbane Australia. I am interested in railway systems. In particular passenger trains. I like rail motor cars and mixed freight/passenger trains, narrow gauge, and urban transit.

My first overseas trip was in 1974. I traveled by ship from Melbourne to Mexico. Then I traveled 11,000 miles by train around the US before boarding another ship in Florida for Melbourne via England and South Africa. I returned to the US in 1974, 1976, 1977 and 1980. I have also been to the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and New Zealand. My family and I went to the South Island of New Zealand in January 2008.

Further to the above, I have a great deal of interest in historic and current tramway systems in Australia and worldwide.

I worked for the Victorian Railways from 1967 till 1970 and the NSW railways from 1971 untilll 1988.

I am now retired, and I intend to travel within Queensland and interstate plus a few overseas tris.

My interests include rail motors, australian railways, passenger trains, narrow gauge.
I did a trip to Britain in August 2010 and I traveled on the narrow gauge trains in Wales.

Although I have a number of Yahoo Groups, I found the Flickr groups are far better.

I like some of the 1960's TV shows such as "The Addams Family", "Get Smart", "Star Trek" and the "Outer Limits".
