Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Ex library copy with all external stickers removed. Some wear at spine tail.

The colourful cable tram, 'gliding along with its swan-like motion', remains the nostalgic memory for Australians that the hansom cab is for the Londoner.

It was the major street transport over two generations for Melbourne, San Fransisco, Chicago and other brash and self-confidently expanding great cities of the late nineteenth century. Immense investment and labour were required to establish the routes of Melbourne and Sydney. (back cover)
