Luna Park Melbourne

This guide to Luna Park Melbourne follows the origin of the brakeman who still rides the back carriage of the Great Scenic Railway, after a nineteen-year-old boy fell from a moving train in 1921. It traces the railway's opening day in December 1912, alongside Mr Moon's grinning entrance, and the decades the wooden coaster kept running through two World Wars. Look for the brakeman standing where the rails vanish into the first tunnel.
