Trains are Awesome!

On Sunday, Jason and I experienced the infamous Puffing Billy, a century old narrow gauge heritage railway which meanders through the southern foothills of the Dandenong Ranges. This railway was originally one of four experimental lines used to develop rural areas in the early 1900's. The Puffing Billy is the only remaining line and is operated almost exclusively by volunteers of the Puffing Billy Preservation Society. We stopped over at Emerald Lake Park for a few pleasant hours before heading back to the city.

(Sunshine & fresh air + gorgeous views of smiling children & countryside = a very happy Tracy.)

Here are some pictures from the day set to a live version of Telephone & Rubber Band by Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

*At one of the stations we passed along the way they were having a special Meet Thomas & Friends event, so some of these pictures were taken especially for the one and only Abe Stoller! Wish you could have been there, buddy!
