SW6.871 is a former Melbourne Tram that was part of a project where Community groups could aquire one of a number of stored Trams and use them for new purposes.
Terang is a small town in Victoria's South West and the local RSL branch aquired 1941 SW6.871 to display in front of the local RSL buildings within their memorial garden.
The tram was placed in 2019 and the club has set up a War memorial display inside the Tram.

Oswald Stoll and the Armed Services.
Last week I made a visit to a building I spotted from the number 14 bus coming back from Fulham Palace. I didn't have a clue what this building was, so I retraced my steps. I'm glad I did. From the photographs l took you will see why it caught my eye.
Firstly I would like to thank Becky Frankham, Communication Officer from Stoll housing for meeting me and showing me around the site.
So what I saw was the Sir Oswald Stoll Foundation in Fulham SW6.
Stoll was a philanthropist who donated the land in 1916 for the Sir Oswald Stoll Foundation, a charity in Fulham, for disabled soldiers returning from World War I and their families. The foundation continues to house disabled ex-servicemen and women to this day, but in addition also provides supported housing for veterans suffering from mental ill health, and those who, having left the Forces, have found themselves homeless.
So who was Oswald.
Sir Oswald Stoll (20 January 1866 – 9 January 1942) was an Australian-born British theatre manager and the co-founder of the Stoll Moss Group theatre company. He also owned Cricklewood Studios and film production company Stoll Pictures, which was one of the leading British studios of the Silent era. In 1912, he founded the Royal Variety Performance (originally Royal Command Performance) a now-annual charity show which benefits the Entertainment Artistes' Benevolent Fund.
Stoll worked with the theatre architect Frank Matcham on several theatres, including:
Nottingham Palace (1898).
Hackney Empire (1901).
London Coliseum (1904).
Bristol Hippodrome (1912).
If you grew up in this part of Fulham, it's quite possible you have sat on or slept on something that came from this furniture retailer.

Before Dr John came on Jon Cleary (who later performed as part of the Lower 911) did a solo support set. Originally from Kent, he has been based in New Orleans for many years.
