Stratford timber railway

[admin]

The Stratford timber railway can be traced in sections along its original route from
south of Stratford Village to near the original end point on Dog Trap Creek.  On the
north side of Bowen's Road, 600 m east of Stratford Village, 400 m west of Roseville
West Pit Extension, is a shallow cutting, which leads to a crop-marked route that can
be traced on aerial images extending across the paddock to north-east (Portion 45,
Parish Avon).
