First pic today is from our anonymous source and shows a couple of the
D&F trams at the 'Tramway Centre' - the corner of Moorabool St and Ryrie St.

The trams are running SPECIAL and have possibly dropped off the crowd of
school kids visible on the footpath at right.

I'd be interested to know what "SERVICE FOR THE SICK" on the bank
building refers to.

Just visible behind No 2 is one of the unique Geelong traffic signals -
consisting of neoan bars that progressivley extinguished as a 'count down'.


The second pic is from Dr Radcliffe and shows the same intersection
viewed along Ryrie St and with the traffic lights more clear.

The sign under the lights says: "RIGHT TURN FROM THE LEFT" - Geelong had
hook turns like Melbourne.
