How one man turned a steam train into a house

Check out this stylish accommodation! - by Johanna Griggs AM
  • 28 Feb 2020

It might be slower than travelling by plane, but there’s something romantic about old-fashioned train travel. This week, Johanna’s meeting an adventure-seeker called Mike who couldn’t agree more. When he purchased a home in Victoria’s Otways with a 1927 train carriage in the backyard, he decided it shouldn’t be the end of the line.  He converted it into stylish accommodation and now, it’s a popular place for tourists to stay. Johanna’s stopping by to see how he gave this old rattler back its charm.
