The Fencing Gang has retired
Over the years the Sunday fencing gang have been stalwart workers behind the lines mending fences all around the railway. They have been one of those unsung hero groups that exist around the railway beavering away at largely unnoticed but essential work out of sight of most people. However, they have decided that it is time for them to call time and retire as a group. Their efforts will certainly be missed by the main infrastructure group because there will be more work for them.
In the photograph, they can be seen standing in front of one of their last jobs, the re-fencing of part of the ’narrows’ immediately north of Kingscote following the land purchase of the top of the embankment.
