Puffing Billy as seen on Emerald Lake to Cockatoo walk

Postby David M » Thu 26 Feb, 2015 1:29 pm

I recently did a day walk from Emerald Lake to Cockatoo (return) via the Wright Forest (16.6 km) and saw Puffing Billy from the walking track. I made a video if anyone is interested. "Puffing Billy tourist steam train, Victoria, Australia": http://youtu.be/NCPeQH48V-w

A good piece of track to shoot footage on…
What did you shoot this with?
Cheers

We've got one of the Puffing Billy stations at the end of our road. I never get tired of listening to it chugging along and it's whistle.
Sometimes, I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.
