Re: Geelong

-G'day Peter,Geelong,sometimes known as Sleepy Hollow,is 45 miles southwest of Melb.,population these days of about 150,000 I think.The system closed on 25th of March 1956,too early for most of us to have seen it,let alone have ridden on it.Us old blokes are fortunate to have seen the other two provincial tramways which were both beautiful,each in their own way,we are all fortunate that fragments of both survive and operate regularly.Regards Peter B.-- In TramsDownUnder@y..., "Peter D.

THe photo of Geelong is great, If you have any more Geelong Photos and their
Trams please either post or send. I know
recently when they re made Mecer Street in Geelong, new medium strip and trees
and what not, they hit metal as they dug,
and ended up pulling up a fair of tram track.

Thanks

Graeme, Steve, et al.,

Where was Geelong in relation to Melbourne, and when did the system close?
