Picnic Train! WITH PICTURES!!!

Now that the train tracks are down and running, lets have a town picnic!

The Australian Town and Country Journal, Saturday July 30th, 1892

The Railway Commissioners provided a free

train recently to take all who wished to go down the

line from Cobar as far as Mount Boppy and back.

There was a great roll up of the public, who formed

into small picnic parties. The weather was all that

could be wished for the occasion, and all passed off

without an accident. On the return at Cobar cheers

were given for the commissioners.
