CM,
In a strict sense, I guess you are correct, but the local doggies, by whatever name you want to call them, are just to the north.
And I guess I am guilty of foreshortening "Albion Park Rail" to just Albion Park ---- maybe the fault of being a local, sort of.
And, I must admit, I never even thought of the Brisbane track, which is pretty funny, really, given the amount oi time I have spent, over the years, at the Brekky Creek..
Tootle pip!!
