Driving Creek Railway & Potteries

Coromandel, the town. I decided to go on that little train giving quite a nice view of the town and the water surrounding it. That's a train that an artist built by himself over a period of many years and when the bank asked him to pay back his debts, he finally decided to offer to the public to pay to ride on his train. The last payment was made sometime in 1990, but as people were booking a long time in advance and were enjoying quite a lot that touristic activity, he decided to keep it running. That artist (Barry Brickell), being 77 years old by now, keeps doing art work everyday and still live on his property.
