just a small train...

two carriage train pulling in to the small Tyabb station...
Generally, we tend to say that there is no rail service on the peninsula...
What little rail track there is requires changing
from the main line at Frankston to the small Stony Point line....
It is just a single track serving a handful of stations on the eastern side of the peninsula...


perhaps small

This odd little board features on a beach box at Dromana beach...

But why is the floodlight turned away from the sign, and seems to face the roofline?)
