History

Burra (short for Kookaburra) was ordered by Corrimal Colliery on 1 May 1923 and delivered to 26 November 1923 working at the Colliery. In 1946 an overhaul with a new boiler was carried out by Clyde Engineering.^[1]

Demise and Preservation

Following the purchase of Corrimal Colliery by Australian Iron and Steel Burra was restored and placed on static display at the steelworks in 1968. In 1978 Burra was transferred to the Illawarra Light Railway Museum. The locomotive was recommissioned in 1995 and remains operational.
