RE: Hobart photo - 115

About this scene in Lansdowne Cres, West Hobart, Mal wondered if the workers on the ladders are in fact installing or adjusting the trolley bus overhead.

Possibly, but anchor points for the trolley bus span wires look too low to be accessed off the ladder. I think any activity connected with the trolley bus overhead would involve the HMT’s overhead maintenance truck. Those on the ladder might be HEC (Hydro Electric Commission) linesmen doing something peripheral to the trolley bus wires.
