Background
Built for the Neranwood Hardwood Company, Mudgeeraba in the Gold Coast hinterland. This timber tramway closed in 1926 and ALISON lay out of use until 1931 when the Farleigh Mill at Mackay purchased it. ALISON hauled cane at Farleigh until the early 1960’s when it was stored out of use. ALISON was donated to ANGRMS in 1972 and was transported to Brisbane for storage in 1974 and then to Woodford in 1980.
