  The first rail bridge near Brooklyn ca.1889, looking south. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawkesbury_River_Railway_Bridge

  From the other end (Star Photo Co.) - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemLarge.aspx?itemID=413737

  Interetsting that the bridge's nameplate is on the northern end, ie, furthest from Sydney. That's also quite a sharp curve for the tracks, immediately after leaving the "straight' on the bridge!

• beachcomber australia said:

  1kevin2 The GoogleSatellitePhoto shows the old bridge piers and the original alignment of the single-line track (according to wikipedia article) either end. It does look like a tight corner in this photo.

• beachcomber australia said:

  Date: 1889 - 1893 (double track changed)

Woodchopping at Scheyville

  I saw it in Australian Woodchopping

  The guys appear to be splitting and stacking fence posts. Although the width looks about right, the timber appears too rough and lacking uniformity to be railway sleepers. They were probably just for use on the farm. "The boys were at work by 7.30am and worked until 5 pm. They worked at clearing land, milking, ploughing and extending the area under cultivation. The farm was self-sufficient in food, with its own vegetable gardens and fruit orchards, dairy, cattle and sheep herds." www.migrationheritage.nsw.gov.au/exhibitions/fieldsofmemo...
