Melbourne

For the last 6 or 7 years I have been lucky enough to go the the Geography teachers of Victoria annual conference. The conference is Sunday Monday but I flew over on Saturday morning. On Saturday afternoon I revisited places I went to when I was 16. I went to Melbourne in 1963 to attend Girls Brigade leadership training course. One of the day trips we did was to travel on Puffing Billy from Belgrave to its then end point and then we walked to Emerald Lake. This time I was able to go by train the whole way. In fact the train goes on further but I would have needed to get an earlier train to do the extra distance. The weather was fine just getting a little cool towards the end of the day.
