Hello Folks!

At the moment I'm helping Mum plot the old cable tram route, which is a type of Archaeology.

It's so fun doing this, that last night I got bugger all sleep.
I'm also reading Unravelling Piltdown
and I'm just about to start reading "THE CALL OF THE WILD" but any way I'm doing a type of Archaeology, and I just love it!

The tram routes used to go all the way from Market street to Station pier and South Melbourne Beach.

It's a type of Archaeology 'coz if you want to know more about history, you sometimes have to learn about, say, I don't know, where cable trams went to.
If you want to know where some thing was and there's not a complete map of where it was, than you'll need to get some info and try to see if those streets where it was are still there, and if so, then try and place the info together and make a map of where it was.

But if that street isn't there any more then try and use the street that is there as a guide and try to find and ask local historians that know about that street and area.

The cable trams conected the city to distant places. Another benefit was, they helped expand Melbourne, expand suburbs and it was cheaper than catching a horse taxi.
The cable tram also helped make businesses much bigger and let those businesses go to places where they couldn't go to before.
