Melbourne : VICTORIA.:

This lovely card shows the various trams new and old from the Victoria's capital city of Melbourne. These really are a joy to ride and it is a real shame that a bunch of morons got togeather and took the lovely trams of Sydney out of service...and by doing so caused the great traffic jams possible..as these were such a wonderful and very punctual and reliable "people mover.".Thank you so much for this card Keith ...must ride one of these again soon..The stamp got a bit of a work out..
