Physical description

Set of four Colour 27 x 27 mm slide in a Kodachrome cardboard mount.
.1 - Grenville St with two ladies sitting inside, has the Big W store in the background.
.2 - Concrete shelter with curved roof - Wendouree Parade near - has the photographer's purse and umbrella on the seat. This shelter was located at Forest St. From discussions with Dave Macartney and Alastair Reither 11/9/2016, it was there in the 1990 hail storms as they sheltered under it, but disappeared soon after - the construction of the roundabout would have absorbed its location.
.3 - timber based shelter with flat roof - Wendouree Parade near Dowling St. This shelter remains in position in 9/2016. See Reg Item 6551 for a digital image.
.4 - Shelter at Tramway Centre, City, Sturt St and Lydiard Sts, looking towards the Town Hall
Slide mount date August or September 1971.
