Interesting picture. The gum trees in the background look to be the ones that are still there in front of what is now a motel.

Note the tram run number disc hanging in the driver's cab. I always thought it curious that while M was for Malvern (depot), GH for Glen Huntly and so on, Camberwell was/is V and South Melbourne's was A.

Subject: [TramsDownUnder] No 7 tram John Fitzsimons

Many moons ago when I first escaped from New Zealand, I passed through Melbourne in December 1963 on way to seek my fortune and happiness on a working holiday in Great Britain.

The good ship "Gallileo Gallalei" , a new ship of the Lloyd Triestino line, dropped me at Station Pier from where I did a lightning day of tram gunzelling and riding around the City.

When checking pictures last night, I see that at some stage that day I actually rode on a No 7 tram.............No 415.
