   It really happened. Cars floating down Bourke Street during a terrific downpour. We have a few more images like this we´ll add to these pages soon.
And do you recognise the street on the right and below? That´s right... Collins Street. It hasn´t changed a bit has it?

   And the picture below? Right again. Flinder´s Street. We´ve enlarged the picture so you can read the "Spencer Street" on the tram. Scroll down the page to see the entire image.

   You may be able to help! We want to find some photos of the day when all the trams were lined up down Bourke Street.
The day of the Great Tram Strike back in early 1990. If you can help
send us an email. We´ve uncovered two photos so far but we´re still looking.

Peak Hour traffic in Flinders Street. In some hilly areas the
 passengers would get off the trams to help push them up the hills.

And while we´re on the subject of "trams" here´s a photo of a tram rolling down St Kilda Road.
What year would this have been do you think?
