On the bottom of the page are links to pictures of all the engines I've managed to collect or get pictures of. Still are missing some loco photos though. My website is about the most complete pictorial reresentation of Australian made engines, with a lot of information. It still has a few gaps to fill in but as far as I'm aware its the best reference out there on Australian engines. James We've got some Suffolks   For wool you say? Lincoln Longwools, best fleeces in the world   Nat Re: romney sheep scorpion2nz wrote: only about 600  for wool and bred to southdown/suffolk/and poll dorset as terminal sires for meat not into showing sheep. but my children show Jersey calves in the local competitions and do quite well.

I work in the South Downs in the UK (soon to become a National Park) and we are working closely with farmers here to reintroduce the Southdown breed.
