Wow! I haven't got to Nelson on all three of my visits to Canada but now have a great excuse to do so. This heritage tramway is very similar to that in Ballarat, downunder in regional Victoria; it runs around the western shore of Lake Wendouree and has a workshop/depot at 90 degrees from the main line. I see Heather Truskinger has already mentioned Melbourne, Bendigo and Ballarat. So there is no shortage of tramway interest to see in my patch. Isn't George a wonder! If he didn't have this as an interest or social outlet, he probably wouldn't still be with us. I hope I can maintain my health, enthusiasm and share my lifelong interests to reach such a milestone age and be as ambulant as he. i didn't catch the name of the guy showing you the interior of the substation but he looks very much like one of the guys involved with heritage rail and trams down here. Also, the first cyclist (spectacled, towing a toddler carriage) looks very much like another Canadian friend of 31 years, who got to live relatively close (Invercargill, New Zealand) for several years but now lives in White Rock, south of Vancouver. As always, the quality of your posts keeps getting better. Keep 'em coming. Oh, and by the way, did my email and photos land in your inbox? Cheers from Michael.
