Puffing Billy

Leading the way

After doing pretty much nothing for far too long we surprised even ourselves by having a busy day. Woke up too early to finish packing away all of our things and left Maureen with everything we couldn’t fit in our bags to take to the charity shop or keep if she wants including our tent, mattress, doona, clothes, food, etc. etc. Tim, another friend we made then gave us a lift to the train station just in time to make the 10:24am train to Melbourne, then with a quick change over we caught the metro to Belgrave and then just a walk to find Eamann at the Puffing Billy Railway Station armed with free tickets for us to go on this famous steam train.

Eamann and I

It was a great trip taking about an hour each way with fantastic scenery. We then met Eamann when we got back and we went to have a few drinks at his local before he took us home to his lovely House and cooked us a delicious dinner.
