Portland Cable Tram, Heritage streetcar in Portland, Victoria, Australia
The Portland Cable Tram stretches across a 3.7-kilometer route through Portland, connecting the Museum and Depot with the Botanic Gardens and Maritime Discovery Centre.
The Portland Cable Tram commenced operations on March 2, 2002, following substantial funding of over 2 million dollars from government and private contributions, including the Handbury family.
A dedicated team of sixty volunteers manages the daily operations, taking roles as drivers, conductors, and maintenance workers to preserve this piece of transportation heritage.
The tram service runs five times daily throughout the year, except on Christmas Day, Anzac Day mornings, and Good Friday, with reduced winter schedules.
The Museum and Depot exhibits Edward Henty's horse-drawn carriage, model railways, classic cars, and an extensive collection of gemstones alongside the tram operations.
