As you approach ground zero you will see a large empty paddock in the background which used to be home to a friendly horse.
As we walked with our granddaughter and two dogs, our granddaughter being a horse lover would run up with a carrot or two in hand to feed her friend. The horse would always come up for a pat and of course the carrots.
Sadly, the horse is no longer there and our granddaughter is sad and misses him just as she misses Basil, the horse she grew up with. On the upside the walks continue.
At GZ you will see a very short section of railway line with two wheel and axle assemblies and an end of line buffer. This is all that remains of the Canadian section of what was the Bunninyong Line (also known as "Bunny Hop Line", or simply "The Bunny") which opened on 11 September 1889 and continued for passenger and mixed services until 24 November 1930 when these srevices were ceased. Goods trains would run as required.
An Army camp was established at Bunninyong during World War 2 so goods trains were increased to daily.
In 1947 the line was closed. The sidings to Eureka were in use until 1 December 1986.
There is a smooth gravel path either side of the track.
Please replace the cahce under the rail.
You will need a pen.
Congratulations to JTreeTrack2 for being FTF.
