Re: (Melb) Maribyrnong Siding

I'm intruiged, why are all these wheat wagons going down to the end of the
Maribyrnong river siding, there are no wheat handling facilites, unless
someone is doing a GNR and augering the contents out.  But why and for
where.  Is this some sort of backyarding attempt to avoid the GEB monopoly
in the wheat market??
