Redbank Deviation

There is a cracking spot between Tahmoor and Picton called the Redbank Deviation, where a tunnel was closed and a new line built on a slightly new alignment.  

The spot is difficult to get to but on a good day, provides for some excellent photography.  

Here are some of my shots from a couple of weeks back.
