DESCRIPTION
Variant titleA Waverley Library Local History FactsheetAuthor/CreatorWaverley LibraryContentsSydney's tram system was once the pride of the southern hemisphere. Weaving through the city, they evolved 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 final trip of the Bondi tram in 1960 marked the end of an era.
