It’s Melbourne, all right, but so different world. Will it be just as familiar in 2110? It will have to be the folks then who will decide but there will be a lot more images for them to look back on.

The only serious surprise in these pictures was that when they flashed up “Federal Parliament” they showed the Victorian Parliament Buildings. I had thought that the first Parliament was in the Exhibition Building but I guess after that they moved to Spring Street. And I also loved the front open seats on the trams. Must have been the perfect place on a summer afternoon, not so good perhaps in winter.
