This
locomotive operated at the Victoria Mill, Ingham where it was known as ‘Townsville’. Townsville
was donated by the Colonial Sugar Refining company (CSR) for preservation in
1977 and is now displayed in grey primer within the exhibit hall at the
Australian Sugar Heritage Centre, Mourilyan. This museum is well worth a
visit with a variety of exhibits and resources highlighting the technical,
social and economic history of the Australian Sugar Industry and its
contribution to regional development. |
