Two Newspaper clippings pasted onto a single sheet of paper with two Punch holes on the left hand side.

Both trams showing destination of "Special". The photos are associated with a tram tour for Ballarat North Technical School.



See Reg items 3765, 3766 for actual prints of the Courier photographs.



Second cutting dated 23/7/71 discusses the replacement of the trams with buses, the various dates and trams being sought for preservation after closure, including the City of Ballaarat, the Borough of Sebastopol and the BTPS.

Newspaper cutting has been altered by cutting to fit the required space on the sheet, and possibly has left out a line in the last column.
