GARY Storti made a sentimental return to Korong Vale over the Easter break.
The former railway signalman and guard had been in the Vale when it was a hive of train activity.
Closure of the railways in the 1980s, saw Gary move away from the town and family, initially to Maryborough and eventually retirement in Coloundra, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Gary spent several days catching up with family, including the Matthews family.
He said the Easter visit was his first back to the area in more than three years after COVID had scuttled earlier plans. While in town, Gary was an eager donor to Korong Vale Fire Brigade volunteers collecting for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday appeal.
