My question is, why are they all the way out at Middle Creek!?  Surely they
could have just left them at the end of the line near Ballarat!?  The only
reason I could see for this is to avoid vandalism, either by putting them in
the middle of nowhere where noone knows they exist, or perhaps there is a
secure siding there, why else?!
