Travel Diary on Oct 1, 2013

I got up and ate out to McDonald's, which I had found during being lost.
And, what to do before departing for Auckland today is to ride a tramway.

I walked to China town and found tramways. A few peole was waiting for a train at Paddy's Markets station.

Train approaching

When I looked at a board at the station, I found letters 'Day Pass'. So, after getting a train for Lilyfield, I asked a conductor to sell me the Day Pass, and I succeeded to buy one.
Landscape seen from this train has diversity.

Central〜Exhibition Centre:urban
Exhibition Centre〜Wentworth Park:Full of tunnels or shadow surrounded by Rock
Wentworth Park〜LilyField:Suburban

Because of extension work, a track near Lily field was single track. This tramway is expected to extend to Dulwich Hill, which is one of the stations of CityRail.
