A SUBMARINE, A RACE TRACK AND AN OLD PUB. NORTHBOUND OUT OF BRISBANE.
On Brisbane's northside theres a memorial to a Hero Submarine from WW1, a long forgotten race track and a re-named pub that started life as a Cobb & Co staging post.
Starting at the Ampol service station in the Brisbane suburb of Castledine. We travel the northern route out of Brisbane before the Bruce Highway crossed the Pine River at Bald Hills.
These bridges were completed and opened to traffic in 1975.

Thanks Pete another great vid👍👍
wow what a change in 40 years
What a great video. I love it thanks
Leaving Brisbane sure was a long journey before 1975!
Love seeing my old local area
Brought back some great memories of my youth in the 70' and 80's. Did my secondary schooling at St Paul's Bald Hills and spent many a Friday night at the Bonney View in my early working life. A very different time and place then.👍
Interesting video. Look forward. To more. Please🍀🍀🍀PRESS LIKE🍀🍀🍀 , 🌠🌠🌠 SUBSCRIBE 🌠🌠🌠 and leave a comment 📌📌📌.
CAreful of water leeches there.
Such huge potential for tourists --------------------
I remember telling a local politician that at least it should be turned into a bike rail trail , he replied there are talks of reinstating the track possibly with a tram car
Good Work Pete ... cheers a little bit of memory ...
This is the first ive heard of this line. Such a crying shame that near sighted politicians have decided to rip up all the old lines. Imagine how much better our public transport would be if all the old rail lines were somehow magically restored. Imagine also if from beaudesert, the line was extended just a little further west to link up with the main line at bromelton. I’d imagine that if the rail line ran along Camp Cable rd, It is likely that the Americans built a siding to service Camp Cable during WW2.
SO SAD an indication where we are going.
My dad said when he was younger flood water actually did get into the Dugandan pub. Cant remember which flood it was exactly but I think it might had been the flood in 1974. Also my Dad was lucky enough to find bought a framed wall art picture of the Boonah train station with the Steam train stopped in the station.
It's a short sighted disgrace that this line has been decommissioned. The state government is happy to have tens of thousands of people move to the Beauy/Jimboomba area, but have done zero to cater for moving those people around.
I've been looking for more videos of these. Thanks for this.
Stumbled across your video, and surprised to get local content. Was even more surprised how professional the production was, well done.
Very relaxing video, the nature scenery out their looks unreal, it would be fun to walk the line complety on the tracks
There is practically no transport infrastructure to Beaudesert at all now. About one and a half to two hours south of Brisbane and about one and a half hours to the Gold Coast. Great historical doco.
Always makes me sad seeing old rails that have been shut down. In some cases it feels kind of short sighted and others its kind of a death knell for an entire region on top of the general loss of history.
Loved this video, very well done, I had no idea there was so much infrastructure still remaining, I have gotten so used to seeing everything ripped up and torn down! You have earned another sub mate 😁
The line apparently also in the earlier years went on to canungra from logan village also but there isnt much info on it and it was pulled up a long time ago. There is evidence of rail bridges on private property across the albert river down before tambourine village
Enjoyable video Pete. I attempted to follow and photograph the Fassifern Valley rail line Boonah and Mount Edwards line) but very little evidence remains other than a couple of buildings and the earthworks, No tracks or sleepers remain. There is a short walking track from above the visitor info centre in Boonah to Podock Rd called the Rail Trail that goes through some interesting cuttings.
I Deliver goods to various Fire stations in Logan and the scenic and these places are just behind the bushes at various places of drive on an almost daily basis. Thanks for showing me what i never see. it gives me a historical perspective on things. Also i grew up visiting the Chullora yards in nsw regularly with my uncle as a kid im, fascinated by old rail
Interesting. I bought a motorcycle from a shop on the northern dead-end section of Logan Road. I remember when the Riverside Expressway and Captain Cook Bridge opened, you had to exit onto Logan Road via Vulture Street (from memory). The SE freeway opened in stages, with links back to Logan Road a little further south each time. Thank you. 🙂
The old Logan Village railway station building is beautifully restored by my brother, found at Barney Creek Vineyard Cottages. It's a couples retreat, along with 3 other restored buildings
Thanks for the comment, I found that out a couple of months ago. It’s on our list to visit.
It's a sad sight to see an abandoned track in the middle of nowhere. Forgotten. As a kid, being driven past some of these old lines I think about what it was like with the trains still running along them. Personally, I think they should fully dismantle the lines or put them in some historical protection scheme.
I live in Jimboomba and they have recently ripped up the tracks going through the town , nice drone shots of the town
Thanks mate, brilliant video. Live in beauy myself only wish I lived in those simpler times
G’day Pete, it’s Pete here! Yep we share the same name mate and I think this video is great. I have just come across your channel on my RUclips feed and have already subscribed to it. I am a keen rail enthusiast and feel sad that one stupid state government after another has closed so many rail lines throughout Queensland. I noticed that you received a recommendation from walkabout with Rob and that should mean a lot as his videos are also excellent. Cheers Pete and go well mate.
right now while im watching this, the sub count is at 999 time to be the 1000th sub fellow Queenslander here
Congratulations…
These were not built factory RHD, the Aus delivered ones were converted to RHD here in Australia just like anything that was imported. The volume was WAY too low for GM USA to even consider factory RHD an option, they'd likely not have sold many more if they ever did. You're probably somewhat correct that it never saw a US road, but there is no question it rolled out the door a lefty. The same thing happened when GM sold the Chevy Suburban here and called it a Holden, they were converted to RHD here. They were all the poxy base model poverty pack version too, nothing worth buying when you could just import a better one with a lot more options for a lot less money and probably get a better RHD conversion than was done on those anyway. Sweat FA Holden Suburbans were sold here because of the bullshit rules and regs we have in this country and the dead set joke that is the massively over inflated tax system.
I'm on the work crew that maintains the grass on sections on the line on a semi regular basis. They are lifting the whole line for a conversion to a “Rail Trail" for walking and riding. With the lifting starting about than 6 months ago.
Hey Pete i am from NSW when i watched the video first thought i had in mind was if there was a club or a group what you could do is restore and rebuild the longest piece of the line where the bridges are get a couple of locomotive's and build a engine shed at one end to store them and offer rides to the general public up and down on some of the line like what they have done here at the ZIGZAG railway i am sure family and kids would love that experience and it would keep some of the line from being demolished if i had the money i would be the first person to come up and make that happen just a thought
Great video 👌🏻
Awesome video I didn't know I needed to watch. Thank you for your part in preserving this local history. I can't believe I've been looking at all parts of this line for almost 30 years.
Considering the amount of vehicular traffic between Brisbane & Beaudesert, It is imperative that this line is rebuilt and opened up to the public! As the governments want us to go "green" and use public transport, then this railway line and others around the State must be reopened as the best alternative option.
That was very interesting. I have often driven to Beaudesert and observed the remaining bridges visible from the road. Thankyou for filling in the gaps.
Hungry Jack's used to be just outside Garden City in the carpark. Is that what you mean?
That’s the one I was talking about. First one I saw after moving from Melbourne in the mid 70’s.
i hope the QR keep those lines i tact for future housing developments soon just like they closed the dayboro track!
Excellent mate great history telling. And sad to say more of WHITE AUSTRALIAN HISTORY getting destroyed. Qnd it won't stop there until it's all destroyed.
What about making it a rail trail ?
Well done Pete great Vid Shall look forward to seeing more from you
So sad to see such short sighted tunnel vision. In another 100yrs personal private transport will either be illegal or impractical and all this infrastructure will have to be rebuilt for mass transport.
Pity Govt Ever did away with Railways
No one lives out that way just ask the government besides it would cost to much to fix up and we need the money for the Olympic stadiums
Very nice footage mate. Great job. :)
When was this on? Can't believe I missed it. :(
Considering the increasing urban spread along the corridor south towards Beaudesert, I have always thought that it was very short sighted of the State Government not to upgrade the Beaudesert Railway into a commuter line, reducing road traffic from the nearby highway. They built a brand new line to Springwood and built a long overdue line to Redcliffe. Why not Beaudesert?
Springfield NOT Springwood
You're right. I don't know why I typed in Springwood. Thanks for correcting me, even if it is a bit embarrassing. But the thought is still the same.
Because we do things backwards in this country. We'll put in thousands of homes and worry about the issues of roads and rail 15 years after it becomes a problem
With the way Brisbane is expanding the corridor will eventually be needed again for an urban passenger service
It won't be the same alignment, the plan is to break off the interstate line and join the Beaudesert line at Veresdale.
