REDWATER CREEK STEAM RAILWAY, Sheffield

摘要

The pleasant rural town of Sheffield, overlooked by the bulk of Mount Roland, is well known for its murals painted on some of the town's buildings. It came alive over the Tasmanian Eight Hour Day long weekend of 12 to 14 March for the annual Sheffield annual SteamFest. With justifiable pride, this excellent rally won the inaugural Cradle Coast Tourism Award for Best Event for 2010. Fantastic weather smiled upon this year's event, even verging on hot for the Sunday. For the light railway enthusiast pride of place goes to the superbly restored 610mm gauge 0-4-0WT Krauss locomotive resplendent in green livery. This loco is over 100 years' old, having been constructed in Germany in 1906.
