Avenel Trips
2nd October 2007 to 13th February 2008

Avenel is a fantastic place to explore and gunzel SG freight. Unfortunately one station too far away to get the frequent passenger services Seymour gets, this small town has a nice pebble surfaced platform, a fantastic bridge, and other features worth a look at. From two visits this year, here is a collection I put together, I hope you enjoy it as much I did.
