The street shots in "Malcolm" are at various places around Melbourne.
The little "tram" was made of bits supplied by the Tramway Museum
Society of Victoria and it still resides at their Museum at Bylands
near Kilmore -- open Sundays only, or by arrangement. It has
suffered some damage -- it ws not strong enough to last for ever, and
shed its roof during one move!

I agree that for one day Bendigo is a more certain bet -- there will
be a tram running and the depot will be open with plenty more to see.
