I had the opportunity on Sunday to visit the Diamond Valley Railway in my electorate, in Eltham Lower Park, on Main Road. It's the largest tourist attraction in the Shire of Nillumbik and transports more than 150,000 passengers a year in a very family-friendly environment. Indeed, the railway's carrying numbers are the second largest in Australia for a tourist, heritage or miniature railway, second only to the famed Puffing Billy Railway. The Diamond Valley Railway was established in 1961 and celebrated its 58th birthday just last month. This is a not-for-profit organisation—
