History
In 1901, the

the river and the track is 13 kilometres long. It is still running today and is
one of the most fun things to do in Wuppertal. Would you like to ride on it?
Here is a
video of the Schwebebahn to watch.
A true story
In 1950, a young circus elephant called ‘Tuffi’ was put onto the Schwebebahn to advertise the circus. The elephant got really scared and jumped out of the window of the train carriage. It fell 12 metres into the river below. Luckily, the elephant was not hurt. Although there is a photo of Tuffi coming out of the river, no- one got a photo of her jumping out of the train.
Task: Draw a picture of Tuffi jumping out of the Schwebebahn and into the river below. I would love to see your picture so please email it to me at Felicity.Woodward@education.vic.gov.au

Isn't it funny that the seasons are opposite? This is because Germany is in the Northern Hemisphere and Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere.
One of the cutest animals to be seen in Hersbt in Germany is the Red Squirrel. The name is a bit tricky to say in German but please give it a go!
das Eichhőrnchen (pronounced like 'eye- sh- hern- chen')
