 Re Enacting the heritage of the sergeant & his wife, during a historical steam train trip from Gympie to Imble 40klms down the track, their personality comes out as their family history goes back to this era and they are actually playing the reality of it all.

On this day in 1870, Sergeant Moore and Trooper Knox have been commissioned to escort a large shipment of gold from the Gympie Goldfields to Imbil.
As there has been recent bush ranger activity in the area, we have reason to believe an attempted armed hold-up will take place.
Watch out for bush rangers along the way... especially at the stations.
However, a serious attempt will most likely take place when we reach Imbil.

Awesome photo but what is their personality? Old fuddy duddie's? Just kidding. Hmmm? Maybe I should joke around: I think he's packin' a gun there. The focus is certainly sharp - very sharp indeed.

I like the sepia toning here. It has a old style look to it.
