William,
Thanks for your post. Mal posted a series of historic Adelaide photos
including Mitcham and Colonel Light Gardens terminii and also a photo at
Magill. The post of Mitcham is at
https://tdu.to/m/251775/a-delightful-adelaide-image. I did think of Mitcham
as one of the few hilly locations on the old Adelaide network but it
doesn't have the open view across to Mt Lofty, being almost in the Adelaide
foothils. I will do some exploring of North Adelaide in the next few days
when I'm not chasing trams doing driver training on the City Extension.
