Absolutely amazing to watch after more than 60 years! The passengers clambering aboard the moving tram. Hanging out on the footboards. Etc. Etc. The OH&S people weren't born when the film was made. Arthur Perry features in a number of the scenes. Guess most of the other passengers would no longer be with us? Thanks to the unknown moviemaker.
I will say it too, absolutely amazing, people running across streets through the cars and jumping on and off the tram on both sides. How I wish I had been in Sydney in those years. Thanks to the unknown photographer for recording these details so that now, 60 years later we can enjoy the delights of the great Sydney Tram system.
Wonderful film thank you. Daredevils of the 50s. I remember the paper boys skilfully jumping on to the footboards also. Liked the brief footage in Lee and Regent Streets with the Mortuary Station. It would have been great too to have seen Saint Alban's next door..
