That's an interesting picture Rod - the one dated 1926 showing a TOORAK tram outside a ramshackle agglomeration of Myer buildings.

It's actually in Lonsdale St, not far from Elizabeth St.
It has to be between Feb 1924, when the northbound Swanston St services were diverted into Lonsdale St and the end of 1925 when the cable tramways were taken out of Swanston St.
As such, it's a rare shot of a short term terminus.
