There was also a dual gauge spur from Gairloch (just north of Ingham) to
Victoria Mill.
AFAIK QR locos were not permitted to travel on it, and 1067mm wagons were
moved by 610mm locos.  The 1067mm rail
was removed about January 1988.

While we are in the Bundaberg area, *where* did the spur line from Avondale
go to?  The one that branched off from the northern end of Avondale yard,
then curved under the North Coast Line.
