Back in about 1983 I was taking photos at Roma St on the access road to the
goods yard which was where the new tunnel portal is now. I was halfway up
the hill from the guard in his little box at the gate, but he still walked
up the hill to where I was and told me to bugger off.
But in July last year I was photographing from footbridges and stations all
day at Yeerongpilly, Corinda, Park Road,Dutton Park and South Brisbane and
had no problems at all. I had a valid ticket but no one approached me at
all.
