i really like looking at the pictures of AUS here on this site...
Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comThe only place I immediately recognised was Stones Corner - but it is over 45 years since I left Brissie.

Inc, do you want to know the locales, or just like to hear from those who recognise them? Either way.............
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

The numbers of people standing around with cameras makes me estimate the photos were from dates in 1969 during the last days of trams. No. 16 in particular has four vintages of trams in it. The red "toastrack" model had not been in service since the late 1940's.The small boxy shaped ones were only used in emergencies in passenger service. They had only been used to carry around advertising for many years. In the background is what looks like a "dreadnought" which by then had been relegated to peak hour services to make up numbers.
