The little that I know about this locomotive is based on John Browning’s record of preserved Australian sugar cane locomotives, as listed on the Light Railway Research Society of Australia website. It worked at Mulgrave Mill, Gordonvale in Queensland’s far north, where it was No.9 on the loco roster.

Mulgrave Mill No.9 is apparently now privately owned at Tynong North, Victoria.

I would really appreciate any further information or photographs for this locomotive.
