Canberra Railway Museum

Hey all.
This is going to be a Blog about my experience at the Canberra Railway Museum on Saturday 14th November 2015.
There was lots of interesting exhibits there such as:

Beyer Garratt Steam Loco 6029:
Known as 'City of Canberra' 6029 is one of the biggest locomotives in the southern hemisphere.
