Is there anyone on this list from Brisbane (not Adelaide!) who can give us
an update about Ferney Grove? I visited the site in early 2000 and peered
through the fence, but it was all shut up and didn't look much advanced from
the situation reported in old "Electric Traction" mags from the early 70s.
Is that unfair? Do they operate regularly? Have the plans for a decent
length of running track been abandoned?

The Brisbane Tram Museum had a display at the Brisbane Train Show over the
May long weekend with plans and photos of the work in progress.
Earth works now done for the new workshop building. Track has been pulled
out of the stock pile including a set of 3 way points ready for the job. I
understand the museum will close for a few weeks soon while the new track
work is cut into the existing track work. Their plan is still to extend to
Ferny Grove Station and apparently most of the hurdles are now overcome.
Things are happening in the Sunshine State.
