Mike McCarthy will present "Red Cliffs (Vic) Pumping Station 2 ft gauge coal tramway." From 1924 to 1954 the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission of Victoria operated a 5.3 km tramway carrying coal and briquettes between Red Cliffs and a pumping station on the Murray River. A small Kerr Stuart steam locomotive and several Malcolm Moore tractors were used on the line. Mike will speak about the origins of the tramway and its operational history.
