What was happening there, Mal? The tram is on the wrong track (a shunting
movement?), there is a fairly crowded tramways bus on the road to the
left, a tramway works vehicle blocking the road, and a lot of people
standing behind the tram.

The lights hanging from the overhead over the roadway suggest track
reconstruction works, but the crowd of people suggest a gunzel outing!

Goodness, so much has changed in 50 years, but amazingly, the trams remain
and the line has even been extended in the interim. If that was 1968, then
Clem was about to announce the destruction of the Brisbane trams, and
Sydney's were seven years' gone.
