A big group of the Strong & Capable Community traveled by diesel train through the beautiful Bugle Ranges on Sunday afternoon.
The heritage “Red Hen” railcar took us southwards from Mt Barker to the very peak of the ranges at the now closed Philcox Hill station site. Situated in an opening in the trees on level ground, the station site is the highest point on the line (1,304 feet or nearly 398 metres above sea-level). Read more about the trip from the Steam Ranger.
The train was jam packed with train enthusiasts and people out exploring the Adelaide Hills region.
The weather wasn’t on our side to take a lot of happy snaps, but safe to say a great time was had!
A smaller group enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Gawler St Cafe in Mt Barker beforehand.
It was wonderful to connect with our growing community of likeminded people.
