Daylesford, the line to Carlshrue is curving away to the left, the formation of the line to Nth Creswick and Ballarat curves away to the right.
There are some very substantial earthworks on this line. A very deep cutting at approx milepost 107 looking towards Sailors Falls
ABOVE: A rather large culvert at approx milepost 107 1/2, capped in bluestone, the mortar work in the brickwork is exquisite!
BELOW: Another large culvert close to the one above, this one is big enough to walk through standing upright.
I am standing on the formation at approx MP 105 1/2 looking east at where a very substantial wooden bridge took the line over the road below,
the remains of the bridge can be seen before the embankment continues.
A long section of straight embankment at photographed from the level crossing at MP 100 28c 50l looking west
Wombat station area looking east, the mound next to the track is the remains of the platform.
