Driving Creek Railway

Driving Creek Railway, originally uploaded by Fluffy Bear.

We visited the Driving Creek Railway and Potteries. Originally the railway was designed to fetch clay but it's now been extended for passenger use right the way to the top of the hill where the clay comes from.

It's a bit unusual in that it zig zags it's way up the hill, stopping at various places for the driver to get out, change some points and then go to the other end of the train and go off in the reverse direction. The views from the top of the hill are great - you can see right out to sea.

In the afternoon we stopped at a local cafe for some lunch and then went to the beach where we were treated to an expert surfing display.
