Hi Puff my son lives in Melbourne(Tram City!) and I've been their twice and I'm going there for his wedding in a few weeks time. During my last visit to OZ I managed to visit a preserved railway near Hobart and one in Maldon, Victoria. As is usual for Railway enthusiasts they were very friendly.
after the wedding I hope to visit some other preseved railways, any suggestions.
I was suprised to see that the Victorian railways were of 5ft 3in gauge, the Southern Cross Station having a platform with dual gauge ie 5ft 3ins & 4ft 81/2 in
My son says its roasting hot in Melbourne, its -2C at the moment here!
