The Blues Tram
The Blues Tram was developed by, and is run by, the Bendigo Blues and Roots Festival, with ticket sales processed through the Bendigo Visitor Centre. Visitors enjoy a relaxed drink while rolling through the streets of Bendigo listening to some of the region's finest performers.
Initially developed to be a once-off event, the Blues Tram has grown from strength-to-strength and now operates once a month. Check out this link for up-coming sessions.
Yarn Bomb Tram
Covered in hand-made crochet, both inside and out, Tram No. 302 is transformed each Winter by a group of needling ninja’s with an explosion of colours and shapes that has to be seen to be believed.
Like a well-tailored suit, the moving masterpiece is a testament to the craftsmanship that has been poured into its design and creation.

Dja Dja Wurrung Tram
Launched in July 2017, The Dja Dja Wurrung Tram takes visitors on a journey of discovery into the unique and fascinating traditions of the Dja Dja Wurrung to hear a story more than 40,000 years in the making. This tram has been adorned inside and out with striking Aboriginal artworks created by emerging Dja Dja Wurrung artist, Natasha Carter. A special commentary has been written and narrated by the Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal staff and members and was produced by prominent musician and composer David Bridie.
The Dja Dja Wurrung Tram has been made possible thanks to a number of sponsors who have generously contributed to the project, these include: Australian Government's Stronger Communities Fund, Transport for Victoria, City of Greater Bendigo, Fosterville Gold Mine, Bendigo Tourism Board, Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation and Bendigo Heritage Attractions
