Can you believe the fat cattle roaming the far South Western Queensland Channel Country will not be going anywhere? Well, at least not by rail in the near future.
The Westlander railway track which extends beyond Charleville to Quilpie was severely damaged during the huge rain event in March 2010. Whilst many kilometres of the track have been repaired, there are still large tracts awaiting repair. The rail is often used to haul lots mobs of cattle from properties in Western Queensland to the Eastern markets.
Check out this stretch of railway line! Can you even begin to imagine the volume and the current in the flood water that can do this?
