Now I like this. Means I could bring out my old 1925 Kodak Cine B movie camera

But also so too would my kids. They could each bring along their own film cameras.

Nice idea Shane.
Looks like Labour day weekend would be the best time to visit. Time to dust off the Mamiya 7II

Better bring your close-up kit/bellows extension charts.

Some really nice gear here, but in a truly shithouse location. It's located on a gravelled site under power lines.

So, wide shots may not be aesthetically pleasing!!

Wish we could get access to the Puffing Billy sheds...

Lachy, If you're romancing steam trains, ye old puffer K-160 berthed at Maldon station, and running on Sundays to distant Muckleford siding, would be the bomb Not a shithouse location out there: just bush and a lonely old railway track and siding. There is never a time when photographers are not somewhere around the tracks out at Muckleford as the big black loco belching grey-black smoke trundles out of the bush.

I am at Melville Caves on the Labour Day weekend with a bushwalking group; all other weekends are busy, with departure for ConFest at Moulamein on 24th — landscape photography workshops there.

Lach, you can shoot numerous bits and pieces in the sheds as well, but the fencing makes it impossible to capture to whole engine.

So where is the final destination?

Just in case I can swing a miracle for this weekend.

It looks like this hasn't actually happened.
Where are we going!
