Tramway museum is a must visit

Its free. Its beautiful. So many old trams and they still work. You can climb most of them and each one is different with a theme. Must go.

Thank Vipin A

The Bendigo Tram Depot is a must when visiting Bendigo. A great array of trams in operation and undergoing restoration. The tram ride is worth the effort and cost.
