Thanks Baku! I love Marcus Wong's photo essays because he explains things in a way that an interested but dumb person such as myself can really get into. I've been subscribing to his "Waking up in Geelong" newsletters for this reason.

The only 2 blogs I follow along with are Marcus and Daniel Bowens. If you haven't seen Daniels, it's pretty similar to Marcus' but usually more focused on advocacy

Glad you enjoyed!

@Baku @PeelerSheila I'm not sure if @wongm is still on the Fediverse, but @danielbowen and @ptua are definitely around...

@wongm @Baku @PeelerSheila @danielbowen @ptua I think you should post here more often, Marcus. We miss you!

have you checked out Marcus' other blogs? He posts on checkerboard Hill quite often and it's pretty interesting as well

I'm not really into overseas, or hell, even really interstate PT so don't keep up with CBH or eurogunzel. I have used Rail Geelong pretty extensively in the past and used to keep up with VlineCars before it died though
