This may not be new news, but..
A wonderful and quite extensive museum of Melbourne
tram memorablia exists at Malvern Depot. It seems that
every attic in Melbourne was cleaned out of tram
memorablia and all of it was collected in one place,
sorted and neatly put on display. The museum is not
'open' as there is no funding. However, it is
relatively easy to arrange a private tour, when in
Melbourne, by telephoning the Malvern Depot and asking
for Norm Maddox, the 'curator' of the museum. Mr.
Maddox is also a respository of a vast body of
information and trivia about Melbourne tram history;
just get him talking and listen. :-)
