Hauling cane through the countryside isn’t your average job.
Amid the high-vis, hard hats and machinery at this Queensland sugar mill, you’ll find two young sisters who aren’t afraid to take the reins of a cane train.
It’s all in the family for Jess and Emily Garland, who’ve become locomotive drivers at the Plane Creek Sugar Mill in Sarina, south of Mackay.
They’re following in the footsteps of their dad, Ian, who’s been at it for 20 years.
