"Displaying Australia and New Guinea" was published in 1945 by the

Story Trust, 75-77 Pitt St., Sydney. Compiled by George J Tennent

and William O

Hay, it was designed as a souvenir for departing US servicemen and

printed in

the USA.

Filenames are derived from page numbers.

This is remarkably similar to a picture posted a couple of months

ago by our

demon driver:

King's Cross, looking north along Darlinghurst Road. The trams in

foreground

are negotiating the bend from William Street. A double-deck

trolleybus inbound

from Potts Point has just crossed Bayswater Road, which carries the

tramline

out of the picture at right onward towards Watson's Bay. I am

puzzled about the

single track continuing north in Darlinghurst Road.

The nearest tram on the left is signed "Dover Road" while the one

ahead of it

probably says "Rose Bay." The city-bound tram reads "____ Street"

(Erskine,

perhaps, or had that terminus disappeared by the date of the

picture?)

So, how about that track heading towards Potts Point? Is it the

ancestor of the

trolleybus route?
