Steam Train



As a kid I was fascinated by trains. I even wanted to become a train driver. I still remember the day I took a steam train for the first (and last) time at the age of 8 between two local stations. Since then I never had the opportunity to ride a steam train again. Until today. Maldon, where we stayed overnight, is the starting station for the train to Castlemain. It is only running 3 times a week taking you through the dry bushlands. Even though it surely is now a touristy attraction it remains an amazing adventure I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone – train lover or not. A special mention to all those passionate people thanks to whom these incredible machines are maintained.
