To be honestly, i always dream for the steam train. Because it show an old fashion feeling and historic charm. Finally, i got a chance to take the steam train in our mid-break. In my own country, it is seldom to find a steam train which still operating. However, i am fortunately get this experience in AU.
This special train called PUFFING BILLY RAILWAY which opened in 1900 in Dandenong ranges near Melbourne. This train originally runs through the southern foothills to transport wood. Then it closed in 1958. Now days, this train kept in operation through the efforts of volunteers of the Puffing Billy Preservation Society,and this line becomes one of the most popular steam railways in the world,and attracts tourists from all over Australia and overseas.
I took this train with my friends, we viewed various of splendid landscapes of Australia. We also met lots of staffs, they are hospital and responsible. The train which we took do not have window, so we can sit at the train, completely experience this unique beauty of this trip! However, seriously, it is a little cold !><
