As we celebrate years since the first paddleboats appeared on the Murray-Darling; years since the first trams in Melbourne; and years since the first electric tram, it is worth a look back at other transport in Victoria...
From the first bus & tram company in 1869, to all the other companies that followed.
From the first horse tram in Melbourne on 20 December 1884, to the start of cable trams on 11 November 1885, and the start of electric trams in October 1889.
From the great boom of river traffic, with the first paddleboat on the Murray in February 1853, to more than 260 boats traveling up and down the river. To the decline or the river trade, and their revival as tourist boats.
This site is dedicated to those who dreamed, those who built, those who operated or controlled, and those who preserve Victoria's once great transport network.
