The layout is HOn2.5 (9mm track gauge, aka HOn30) and realistically models a small out depot about 30 km from Bundaberg's Bingera Sugar Mill.
The 6.4m layout is basically an oval with the out depot visible to the public and a through staging yard behind. Carl Millington provided a number of the models on the layout.

sand tower and diesel fueling facility.
Queenslander house (used as office)
is to the right of the fueling facility, with the
bridge over river and highway further
to the right. The
back side staging allows several trains
to be operated through the front scene.
Loco storage pen behind ex-QR
station building; the near track is both a through line for empties and the
loco maintenance area.
Diesel fueling is done on the
same track further to the right (loco is one of the Queensland-built Eimcos).
