Why Mamma loves this
Mamma says this is the PERFECT weekend mission - set the kids up with some art supplies (or the iPad), pop on some music and let their creativity run wild. It’s easy, fun and is something fun to work towards.

Contactless Payments and Youth myki
Transport Victoria has recently rolled out contactless payment options across the tram network and at train stations where myki is accepted.
Contactless payment is currently available for full fare customers only. Youth myki card holders should keep using their Youth myki for free travel.
If you do accidentally tap on with a phone or bank card, wait around 30 seconds and tap off with the same device so you are not charged. If you make a mistake and been incorrectly charged you can contact the Transport Victoria Contact Centre on 1800 800 007 to discuss reimbursement options.
