DESCRIPTION
Variant titleA Waverley Library Local History FactsheetAuthor/CreatorWaverley LibraryContentsSydney's tram system, once the pride of the southern hemisphere, weaved through the city's evolution from horse-drawn carriages to raucous steam trams, notorious for their shrieks and dust storms. The O class trams, fondly called "rattlers," carried passengers until 1957. The Bondi tram loop's demise marked an era's end, with the final Bondi tram departing in 1960.TypeFactsheetCollectionLocal History Factsheets
