Encountering a Renault van that has traveled extensively throughout Australia prompted me to inquire about the K's of your vehicle and whether you have ever owned a car with substantial mileage.

I bet you didn't know how The Saleyards Park got it's name.

It owes its nomenclature to the location's historical role as Rockhampton's original livestock saleyards.

Today, the reserve functions as a leading sporting hub The name is a testament to Rockhampton's deep-rooted history as the beef capital of Australia. Historically, the Allenstown stockyards were a crucial livestock trading hub during the region's pastoral boom in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Following the closure of the original yards, the site was redeveloped into a recreational area, preserving the 'Saleyards' name to acknowledge its industrial and agricultural legacy.

STANLEY ST WHARF 1971.

B15s and PB15 locos Where only allowed down on wharf due to weight limit.

Drivers had to reverse trains as far back as possible on the wharf to get as long a run up as possible with a full head of steam just to get up the Stanley St approach due to the grade up the bank of the river.
