2013
To compensate for the lack of time last year, I spent a full day (9:30am to 7:55pm - the only buses home) in Ballarat this year to observe the proceedings. Admittedly, I had run out of things to do by about 1...Locos this year were K153 and Y112 as usual, running to a different location: Lal Lal Blocking Point, a photo of which is below.
