Queenscliff on the Bellarine Peninsula, commanding the Heads, the narrow and treacherous entrance to Port Phillip Bay, has been a seaside holiday destination since colonial times, when visitors arrived by steamer from Melbourne. The town boasts many fine Victorian-era homes and some grand hotels and guesthouses. On this occasion we joined a group of friends and neighbours celebrating a landmark birthday aboard the Blues Train, combining a steam train ride with dinner and live blues music on board.
