It was indeed. I can't remember if I was in Primary School or early High School when I went there on a visit to my uncles' dairy farm just out of Murwillumbah.

(The punctuation of "uncles'" is correct. Two brothers were married to two of Mum's sisters.)

So it was probably just before or just after 1960.

It was a delight to watch that engine doing its job.
