After some recent maintenance, our bells are sounding a lot clearer and even louder, which is also highlighting that perhaps we'd also like some well-struck ringing in future too. I thought we already had a loud tower, but turns out it could always be louder! Might need ear plugs!

There was probably room for an additional stream and then give everyone longer papers. However, I'm trying this new thing where I stay quiet in the cheap seats and don't offer to organise things and just enjoy being a delegate for a change. Aleisha will be most surprise I know what quiet is!

Meanwhile I'm having to find a way to temper my comments so that I can still find employment after 😂

IMHO they should have one anyway, cos it'd be neat. Plus then somewhere pretty to stick heritage excursion trains, & a wye for turning around in if required (don't think there's any nearby turntables).
Then again, I have a lot of cheap reckons haha

Needs a matching train on t'other side.
Actually, question: from satellite view, the station looks like a triangle - was there ever a chord that connected the third side, allowing northbound trains to head east? i.e. was Frankton ever a complete wye?

Incidentally, IMHO all transport related events/conferences/etc shouldn't require private transport. I shouldn't have to take a plane, train, bus, and still require a taxi to get to things. They also shouldn't cost 10K, but that's a separate issue.

I think 3 different trams all have the 'stache: 906 (red Melbourne), 892 (green Melbourne), and 321 (green "air conditioned" Melbourne)!

I've never worn a football shirt and aren't particularly interested in the sport but that shirt looks comfy AND awesome, so my interest is definitely piqued

I prefer pansies. My local bunnings doesn't seem to sell them, but that's ok because we have some wind/bird sown gorgeous dark purples ones the pop up at random
