Ashburton railway station, Melbourne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The station only had this name for a few months, and on December 12, 1890, the station was renamed Ashburton, named for Ashburton Terrace in County Cork, Ireland. For a short period, this left the line to Ashburton (from Camberwell station) as the last remaining stretch. A railway siding lies adjacent to the station, but this has been largely unused in recent years, due to lack of security, highlighted by a vandal attack on a train there in the 1990s. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ashburton_railway_station,_Melbourne   (387 words)

BARISTA: triumph of the gunzel As a result Melbourne does not have one central railway station but three - two of which were built right next to each other but did not connect at any point. In Melbourne, A "gunzel" is a tram junkie, although Daniel Bowen, fierce defender of public transport and iconic Melbourne blogger, extends the definition to include trains.

The Hindu : Reflections on Sydney's antipode Melbourne has the Yarra, which rises in the Dandenongs to the east and flows muddy-brown with innumerable loops and bends through the city and its outskirts till it finally pours itself into Port Philip Bay.
