I will add photography soon. I can't...

Our party of six was treated like royalty by the lovely team of volunteers at Pleasant Point museum and railway. We had a wonderful time on the train ride, enjoying the lovely lunch provided, and taking in the museum exhibits. A really interesting afternoon out. Well done to the dedicated team who keep this fantastic place alive!
