Physical description

Set of four Colour slides, Kodak white cardboard mount, developed March 1969 of a special tram that apparently ran from the depot via View Point, shunted at Ripon St and again at Hospital corner.
..1 - No. 26 running a special in Wendouree Parade, View Point, with the Lake View Hotel.
.2 - ditto - and a catering company in the view, as well as a Telephone box.
.3 - running from Ripon St into Sturt St.
.4 - shunting at Hospital corner - then possibly crossed 34 at Parker St Loop - see 7668.
.5 - ditto, but before .4, with the tram rounding the corner from the North side of Sturt St into Drummond St.
It would then appear that the tram then reversed a bit before going back into Sturt St onto the South side.
