    By: Robert Alexander10th Jan 2024 11:16AMThis is most likely Cudgen Sugar Mill, located south of Tweed Heads, northern N.S.W. Established by Mr. J. Robb in 1891 who had a tramway operating from the mill to Chinderah Wharf on the Tweed.

    The 0-4-0ST locomotive in the fore ground is the remains of either Fowler B/No.6554/1892 or 5429/1887and the locomotive in the background is Decauville 0-6-2T, "Torpedo", B/No.245/1892 ex. Condong mill. Later after 1953, the Fowler was rebuilt with a similar locomotive from Nausori mill, Fiji, B/No.5429/1887. So I am assuming , these are the remains of the two Fowlers after the rebuild.
