How lucky to travel the Schwebebahn. Was there a Seaworld monorail? I remember a Jupiter's Casino monorail - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-01-30/broadbeach-monorail-closes-after-almost-three-decades/8224210. I never went on it. But I did go under the highway overpass lots of times. There was also a helicopter monorail at Wobbies World in Nunawading, but that was more ride than public transport.

Hi Simon! Yeah, the Sea World monorail was only recently shut down, like in 2022 or something? Just looked up Wobbies World ... um, wow?? :-)

Quite a shame, I really love monorails, and there are some who argue they're better suited to Australian urban conditions than other modes. Are you aware of these characters? https://www.monorailsaustralia.com.au/

Not til now. But I do like reading from time to time https://wongm.com/

The monorail enthusiasts point to a suspended monorail trial in China.
