John Whiting in an email of 17-9-2021 noted:



The rowing course along Lake Wendouree is noted, so perhaps this map is post 1956?

The Mt Pleasant tram line is shown to terminate at Morton St, not Cobden St (which of course is incorrect)

Someone's come along and drawn in black ink the branch of the View Point tram line!
