Melbourne Austin 7 club had our annual Melbourne cup weekend Bob Booth pub crawl, 3rd to 7th November.
23 Austin 7's attended, we stayed at Castlemaine Victoria Australia, approximately 220 miles completed.
Below is our Austin 7's lined up outside the very beautiful Maryborough railway station (Victoria, Australia)
The station was erected in 1890, complete with clock tower. In 1895 Mark Twain visited Maryborough, which he dryly observed as being a railway station with a town attached. Some people believe a bureaucratic error led to the station being built from plans for the station intended for Maryborough Queensland, (a much larger town). Information from Wikipedia
We visited an under construction miniature railway in nearby Castlemaine, once complete will be the largest of its type in the southern Hemisphere. I has a scaled replica of the Maryborough station.
