Ride on the "talking tram"

Bendigo - Victoria - Australia

Down the main street of Bendigo, an old gold mining town in the central west of
Victoria, Australia. The "Talking" bit is a pre-recorded narration matched by
the object you are passing in the tram, e.g., special buildings, fountains etc
with a little story about the particular object of interest. The tour lasted an hour.
We both quite enjoyed this step back in time. I'm old enough to remember similar
trams that ran in my home town of Adelaide.

Here's how the old tram looked

Nicely captured, Yvonne. I remember trams in Brisbane, when I first came here in the sixties, too. They created their own atmosphere. This is a great shot. Well done.

Look those benches and driver's suite & hat. A special step back in time indeed.
Well captured with good exposure.
