The museum at Armidale Station has a number of displays of historic
rail types and construction methods, don't know about bullhead
specificaly. They do have some barlow rail.  Another spot where 
I remember seing some unusual old rail was as posts holding up the 
retaining wall around the yard crane at Guyra, can't remember whether 
it was bullhead or barlow.
