It seems remarkable to me that, if Google Street View is to be believed, twenty-five years later the background looks unchanged.
With January 26th being Australia Day, a good a time as any to remember the days when Melbourne's trams showed a bit more community spirit than they do in 2015.
A flashback to Tuesday, January 24, 2006, and a view of 909 in Spring St. working the City Circle route in the lead up to Australia Day that year.
In 2014, 909 was transferred from the Preston Workshops to the Newport Workshops Depot for storage. Mal Rowe photo.

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.
Tram display at the Terang RSL - Friday 02-07-2021.
The Balaclava Road/Hawthorn Road intersection was a fascinating place to spend time, as the tram tracks incorporated a perfectly symmetrical grand union. Route 3 ran through east-west, route 64 ran north-south, route 65 used the east-to-south curves and 69 the east-to-north while the occasional out-of-service car would use the other curves. The 65, which was peak hours only, has since been withdrawn and the 69 has been renumbered 16.
Notwithstanding the density of traffic all turnouts were manually operated requiring the wielding of a point iron. Here the driver is resetting the road to proceed north on Route 64 to Dandenong Road where he will turn west.

In October 2005 SW6.965 was restored to original condition to be presented to Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Princess Mary. Then on Thursday, 10th November, 2005, SW6.965 was presented to the Danish Consul General, Jorgen Mollegaard, by the Victorian Transport Minister, Peter Batchelor, at a function at Preston Workshops.
On Tuesday, 23rd May, 2006, there was the official inauguration of "the royal tram" into the Danish Tramway Museum's fleet. The vehicle is owned by HRH Crown Prince Frederik and HRH Crown Princess Mary. The Danish Tramway Museum is located in the town of Skjoldenæsholm, about 65 kilometres southwest of Copenhagen, Denmark. The Danish Tramway Historical Society, was founded on 8 February 1965. The Society's aims are to extend knowledge of public transport in an apolitical and idealistic manner.

Another SW6 tram on the City Circle service. This car had its trolley pole replaced by a pantograph in late 2002 and re-entered service thus equipped in March 2003.
Since 2009 Melbourne's tram network - apparently the largest in the world with 250 km of double track and around 475 trams spanning nine classes - has been operated by Keolis.
