About Me
I'm Dave, a bus, train, ferry and tram enthusiast from Brisbane Australia. Born and raised in Melbourne, I grew up with W class trams, 1919 vintage electric trains, ancient AEC Regal tramways buses and Carlton Draught.
Brisbane is a great place for the public transport enthusiast, new vehicles being added all the time. There are some great places to take photos as you will see as you browse through the photos.
