City enjoyment and steam 🚂🚂

Hello to you all from us. Woody was keen to go somewhere 

So city we did and have enjoyed taking lots of pics with camera and phone 

Catching up with family and friends over the days 

Yarra River looking nice 

Plan was to see the full moon BUT wrong spot lol

Meant to rise way out there but BUILDINGS 

Anyway enjoyed the change in the light 


Melbourne Star was not open on Tuesday night

Flights happening though 🛫✈🛬

Getting Darker 

And the casino fires on the hour after 6

Back at pad Woody watched Petes Dragon 2016

Lovely coffee from the cafe at bottom of our building next morning 

Paul had computer repairs to do too

Wednesday night another go at non full moon lol

Waiting so snapped the buildings 

We were on the Princes Bridge 


At least pretty out here waiting 🤣🤣

One of the many performing art buildings in Melbourne 

And the best I could get of that moon 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Anyway Woody enjoys the view each day

We enjoyed tasty Ham Hock (Pork Knuckle) at a fave restaurant The Hof

A few have enjoyed my cookies and cake 😀😀

Yesterday we took a different walk after a tram ride 

Treasury Gardens 

Saint Patrick's church from a distance 

Out front 

Woody says hello ❤❤

And today THIS 🚂🚂

Just the rails 

R761 was at the front and had to change spots

Coming past 

Toot Toot 


Coming back 

Zoom with camera 

Another random snap 

In position with K190


Neat eh? So many people but I kept away
Decided to go to another platform

On the other side. Looooong walk lol

Zoom 

Walked along 

And enjoyed all the hissing 

And planes too flying to NZ 

Ready to leave......next to newer Velocity train and old diesel
I took a few videos with my camera but wrong format so will have to work on that 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
Anyway may you be enjoying your week and weekend xoxoxoxo

Steam and kiddos

Hello out there.....my crappy pic of the full moon on Friday, but I still like 

We went out for tea and I snapped these little flowers I like but can't remember what they are called. Does anyone out there know??

Anyway, Saturday  (yesterday)  had me standing on the footbridge in our town waiting....lovely day for it too

And here they come 

Looking impressive R711

Slowing up to head past to the station 

So much soot and R761 was right behind the other engine 

Those of you who follow me know this is the annual SNOWTRAIN by steamrail.....and is next Sunday too but I will be in the city so may not see them.....maybe 

Our station here has a turntable so they were turning the engines around 

ssssssss

R761 R711 both turned ready for the return trip later 

I was waiting to pick up Brenton and this is his train just arriving next to steam carriages and steam in the background.......

So Brenton, Ray and Cooper came for the day 

Frank and Riley (a bit shy) also 

Daddy and Cooper happy snap 

Riley unfortunately snapped him while coughing 

These cousins had lots of fun 

Back to the footbridge we went after 4.30 and just look at little Cooper ready for train fun 

Riley too, but got a little scared last year so keeping Dad close ♥♥

One of the diesel v/line trains....toot toot.....Cooper loved this 

And about to have steam come on through 

Hope you enjoyed this video....Riley and Cooper loved this but kept a bit further away than Granny who ended up with plenty of soot in her hair lol
Well on to a new week and lets see what I get up to next xoxoxoxo
