QLD Where am I? CRYPTIC

qredge · Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 4:17 pm

ok here is an easy one
I am a location well over 100 years old that is a bit rough on the side and hardly any trees in the main section but people fall for my beauty and the most observed section of QR I believe.

Guess a clue is needed- No trees is Barren so might give a clue to location and has two passenger trains each way most days

YES indeed the rocky Barron Gorge where the Kuranda Scenic Railway trains go daily to see the Barron Falls-over to you Raymond

Well since you are a Gladstone chap and I came from Thangool a name that springs to mind is Three Moon which I think is near Monto way on the Monto to Gladstone line

We have a winner but do you know why it is called three moon?
Bonos points if you do!

I think I had the location slightly off as I used to travel Bilo-Monto-Gayndah way often and believe is south of Monto not the coast side. Think it is called three moon due to an old story of a girl drinking at the creek in Full Moon and saw three moons, in the sky, in the reflection in creek and in reflection of dilly was drinking from but dont know if that is a Kids story I read or an Aboriginal tale but that is the only idea of any way I have of it being named Three Moon.

Give the man a donut,that is close to the story that I heard, the only difference was that it was a stockman.

In similar vein
What is the town that comes first in the 100mph stakes though sadly now the mixed does not run and the passenger service has gone to road except for the occasional Historical specials that waltz into town once every few years or so.

Tunnel on the western line, ton as in 100 mph?

Can't somebody make these a bit harder? Wink

I've been refraining from guessing because I don't want to think one up, being the lazy so-and-so that I am... Laughing

yes Winton it is over to you now-gusee I should have used the one "fruitful cow but wrong sex" but the line is only near it at the moment though that could change in the not to distant future

Given that it has been over a month since activity in this thread, I will assume nobody has taken it, and give out an easy one:

Roadway named after a town west of the state capital
