Kate is a 0-4-0WT locomotive constructed for a timber tramway by Leeds company Thomas Green & Son as their builder's number 132 of 1889. It later worked at the Wyndham Meatworks & pier in the remote north-west of Western Australian. Kate has been displayed in a park at Margaret River for many years. It received a cosmetic restoration at Boyanup in 2001 which included removal of old asbestos boiler lagging. Kate returned to Margaret River on 25 August 2001 and a decorative weather shelter has been built to display the locomotive under cover. |
This scanned photo shows Kate and 4-wheel log cart on display at Margaret River on 13 May 2002.
