Description

Northbound troop train pauses at Rockhampton for lunch at the station and a beer or two at the Terminus Hotel. This elegant station was built in England and shipped to Queensland during the latter part of last century. The consignment included the duplication of all main structural parts and fittings, in case of damage and the difficulty of replacement by Australian workmen.
