Melbourne Trip 2007 Day 2



Realised the residents in Melbourne are generally friendly. Strangers will smile at us. One offered to take pictures for us. We went to take a "choo choo" train, known as the " Puffing Billy". The whole place is operated by volunteers, hence there were lots of "old aunties and uncles" there. Very friendly people , with excellent customer service.


We could "stick out" our legs when the train moves. Super cool....... Never been on a steam train before. The people on the road or in the car would wave at the train whenever it passed by. Another act that impressed me.





In the evening, we drove up to Mt Dandenong. Superb view there. Sky was clear that day, hence it was full of stars. Saw the Southern Cross' Stars and, of course, Venus and the Orion belt. Beautiful.
