There is an Historic Steam train - "Puffing Billy" that runs from Belgrave to
Emerald , through the Dandenongs (a small mountain range near Melbourne).  It
is  manned by volunteers, and is always full to over-flowing with visitors
taking the beautiful ride through Tree fern country in a "Proper" train!!  It
is not allowed to run on days of Total Fire Ban, though.

We have just recently had the annual train race - Puffing Billy versus the
10,000+ foot runners who try to beat the train to Emerald!!!  They usually get
a rude honk from the train as they have to wait for it to pass at the level
crossing!!!  :))

Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz.
