Looking into a signal cabin from the outside, we see a 37 lever McKenzie & Holland manual lever frame. Levers are painted red, black, blue and white to distinguish their function controlling signals, track points, point locks and as unused respectively. Four levers, one red, one blue and two black, are thrown and the remainder are standing upright. The walls at right and on the far end are filled with windows, and the adjacent building is just visible through the windows at the end. A track and signal diagram hangs high on the wall above the windows in front of the lever frame.

Today's historic photo of the day: the interior of the manual signal cabin at Kuranda, Qld, July 26 1986

#Kuranda is 34km northwest of Cairns on the 1067mm gauge Atherton Tablelands line. These days it is the terminus of the Kuranda Tourist train that twice […]

Southern cassowary (Casuarius casuarius)

Major Mitchell cockatoo (Cacatua leadbeateri).

Pied heron (Egretta picata).

A wandering whistling duck (Dendrocygne arcuata), with strong Niles-and-Margo energy, sitting in the communal foodbowl.

And some close encounters with some beautiful #birds up at Kuranda too (worth the tourist throng). #Kuranda #nature #Queensland #Australia #birds #cockatoo @palnam.bsky.social (Names in ALT).

Paul and me at Baron Gorge on the Kuranda railway, which follows the line of the old tin-mine trains.

The train crossing an incredible feat of engineering.

The view east from the Atherton Tablelands.

Stony Creek Falls, not in spate!

Thanks to Paul's mum and dad kindly looking after the dogs, we actually had a day out with just the two of us at the #railway in #Kuranda! #train #gorge #waterfall #Queensland #Australia #travel @palnam.bsky.social

A Cassowary.
I felt slightly #jurassicpark when I was up close and personal with this big #bird.

Very large bat hanging upside down and fast asleep.

Now how can anyone be afraid of something as sweet looking as this?!?

Trains, rainforest and (more) waterfalls in Kuranda

Looking through a train window at the Australian bush. The train’s engine is visible, as the train traverses a tight right hand bend in the railway track.

The #KurandaScenicRailway runs daily from #Cairns to #Kuranda climbing 327 metres. The tight right-hand turn is great for #Photography as the #Locomotive can be briefly seen from the rear carriages.

I finally got the anti-slip tape on one #Kuranda bed

Thank you #Topl @WestPawUS

Our photographer was gone all day today. She is home now. Hope you enjoyed the day. She took our beds away. We kept slipping. She is going to put tape all over them, then try one last time. What is the law that when it's not raining you have commitments? #Kuranda

I've been researching #Kuranda beds, bought one after measuring Koda, and sent it back because it was so small. I want to get Eris and Koda both one, for outside not in our tiny house. What size did you get for your GSD?
We tried 40 x 25 it is the (25) that is too small.
