Local history Talk with Philip Mallis

To celebrate History Month, YouTube "History Nerd" Philip Mallis will join us to talk about the railway line that was never to be.

In 1946, plans were underway to establish The Alphington to East Preston (Reservoir) Railway line, but it never eventuated. Philip will take us on a journey of a Melbourne that could have been and why it didn’t happen.
