Final photo for tonight. Ken and I are steam train buffs, and together with some friends, we organised this train to come to our suburb a few years ago, as part of the local town festival. This wooden trestle bridge is the only one of its kind still in use in suburban Melbourne. Costs a fortune for the railways to maintain, but they aren't allowed to pull it down because of its historic significance.

That is so intersting Gina...like reliving history it must be.
is this the Wllondilly puffin' billy? In the Dandenongs? Gorgeous,absolutely gorgeous place.
No, this isn't Puffing Billy in the Dandenongs, Robyn. It is a vintage steamtrain belong to an organisation called Steamrail, who restore old trains and charter them for runs like this. This pic is near where I live.
oh ok... thanks, Gina - I love old steam trains - we have a 3801 that goes past our home every Sunday with sightseers - from Sydney up to the Blue Mts.
Robyn, I have been on the 3801 twice - it came down to Melbourne for a special steamtrain weekend event, and Ken and I had a couple of rides - great old train!
