Take the tram
Melbourne has one of the largest tram and light-rail networks in the
world. The city’s first trams, which were horse-drawn, began operating
in 1884 on a suburban line. Cable trams were introduced the following year
and Melbourne had its first electric tram in 1889 running on a
two-and-a-quarter-mile line from Box Hill to Doncaster.
There are now four types of
trams in operation designated W, Z, A and B classes. The Victorian State
Government also has a collection of operational trams dating from 1906,
either preserved for museum exhibition or available for special occasions.
