W2.453 in 1956
  Roderick Smith

 5611xx St Kilda Rd (Melbourne, Vic.): Olympic Games decorations, W2.453 outbound to St Kilda Beach on route 15.  (Neil Smith, Roderick Smith collection).Which corner in St Kilda Rd?  Which statue?  Was that one relocated, or has it been placed in storage during railway-tunnel construction?
What was route 15 in that era?
The tram would have had a trolley wheel, not a skid, but that is camouflaged by the background.
