This very shiny and lovingly maintained steam locomotive will be hauling me (and a few hundred other enthusiasts) to see the spring tulips tomorrow. Vintage train cars (or carriages, take your pick), a steam locomotive and 90,000 (really!) tulips! Definitely a grand day out. I’ll post about those 90,000 tulips soon.
“6029” is the Southern Hemisphere’s largest operating steam engine. More about the trip and the locomotive here. Scroll to the bottom of the linked page for info about the locomotive.
it’s as old as me that engine, or I’m as old as it! Still going strong! Enjoy those tulips. I didn’t realise you could grow them in Australia as they need cold over winter. I shall look forward to the photos, I adore tulips 😀 🌷🌷🌷

I’m going to Bowral, in the Southern Highlands. It’s colder there than Sydney due partly to altitude.

A lovely area. I think I went through there on my first visit to Sydney. A trip to Jervis Bay!
