Duncan and Fraser tramcar No 3 at the depot bedecked with large Australian flags and small Red Cross flags and seeking donations to the Red Cross. It is most likely the date is during WW1, probably 1916-1918.

Possibly a Motorman in winter coat (as there are no lapel badges). SEC type numbers are on the latter two hats. The Conductor badges on coat lapels and 5-button coats must have been retained by the SEC for a while. The date of these photos would be 1930s.
