All aboard the historic steam train
26 Feb 2025
On a sunny Friday, the Glen Waverley Combined Probus Club drove to Lakeside near Emerald ready to board the historic steam train to Gembrook.
The intrepid amongst the group pulled themselves up on the ledge so they could dangle their legs over the side while the rest sat on the seats or stood.
This part of the track winds through gum tree forests, farmland, and gently rolling hills. It also has a curved wooden bridge which is great for taking photos. The steam engine was quite small so on some of the inclines it had to work hard to slowly get to the top.
Upon reaching Gembrook it was a pleasant stroll up the street and across the road to enjoy lunch. It was then a walk back via the local park to the station to board our train for the trip back to Lakeside.
It was a great day, and the Club would like to thank Carolyn for organising it and ensuring there was superb weather for the day.
