The photo reminds me of one of my first ride on the Ballarat

system,

in 1961. The child's fare was 2d to Lydiard Street North, Victoria
Street or Mount Pleasant and 3d to the Gardens or to Sebastopol.

You

always had to pay again when you passed through the "City".
Look how clean and shiny #13 is. The photo is taken close to the
current St Aidans Drive terminus of the Ballarat tramway museum

line.

Note the absence of people and motor traffic.

Finally i passed Preston Workshops and I noticed Milan 1692 being
readied for the Lygon St festa.Here was a missed opportunity for
using R1808.R class cars ran in Leichardt ,Sydney,which is their
little Italy.It could have represented Sydney's I talian area.
