Puffing Billy

This is my second trip with IDP Melbourne. This time around we're going to a train ride called 'Puffing Billy' in the Dandenong Ranges. Surely this is among one of my unforgettable experiences here in Melbourne.

Full house or better yet, 'full buses'.

Menzies Creek - Since we miss our first stop of the train, we ended up here instead.

Our tour guide from IDP Melbourne, crazy and wacky at the same time.

Hoho, these kids are the victims at the moment. Everyone wanted to take photos with them.

hoho, tu la macam best ajer bila buat macam tu kan... mmg rasa macam kembali pada zaman kanak2 balik
pasal guard tu rasanya that goggle tu macam part of his attire ajer.

honeylemon:
tak bahaya kot, lagi satu keretapi tu jalan tak laju sangat. hopefully tak penah la ada kejadian org terjatuh ker aper ker.
