Another trip to the Kingaroy area.
The Wondai bridge has had fill added at the eastern end.

The curved trestle at Tingoora.

There are still signs telling people not to use the trail.
Why can't it be used?I'm guessing because it's still under construction.
As locojoe67 said. There are still places such as the Wondai bridge approach in the photo which don't have the final gravel finish which you can see in my earlier Wondai shots. On my drive North on this day I saw utes with people working in two places between towns though I couldn't see what was being done.Another trip to the Kingaroy area.

Leaving even a rail fish plate behind falls under littering and they can be fined separately for each individual piece and in the case of a railway this could be $10,000's over a few kim if they were not careful.The company that ripped up the Kingaroy Branch should lawyer up, then, because when I walked it, there was debris everywhere.
What is the solution? Land acquisition?To dealing with the curves and grades? Yes. Almost none of the current route (EDIT: East of Murgon) could be retained. It's all pick-and-shovel, go-around-the-hill-not-through-it construction. Every major river crossing (Cinnabar, Nodinga, Woolooga, Sexton, and of course Miva) will need a new bridge of 50M+. The grade/curves at Kimbombi is unuseable for modern equipment.
