They were fantastic Kristine. As a child in the 60's I loved them. 3d per ride was pretty much passage to anywhere. No suburban pools in those days, let alone Adventure Parks. At 7 years of age I used to catch the tram by myself to the old Qld Museum stop from where I'd walk to the Centenary pool. Very different days.

KMMI77 And well mannered! By the looks of it 👍

That's really what it was like

People had and showed respect and consideration of others back then. I miss that so much. As children we were taught and expected to behave with consideration and manners.

My dad Mel the Yank used to drive Trams, Trolleys and then buses. We used to go on Picnics and take the Crippled Children from Montrose Home to Redcliffe for the Annual Trammies and Bus Drivers Picnic Day out. My brother had his photo taken on one occasion (we still have that photo) it was in the Sunday Truth (I think) newspaper. We kids used to go along to help the nuns and the crippled children. We had to help look after those special children and looked forward to the Annual Picnic. I have quite a few tales I could tell about the advantages of being a "Trammies child". Free fares ( not sure this was legal) but I sure took advantage of the free book of Tickets required just in case an Inspector boarded the bus. We just seemed to know when they were coming!! Inside information, and always look after your mates seemed to be tram courtesy! Tickets please meant jump in with dad and hide that is if all else failed.

YES, the ads for Vincent's pills and all on the side of the trams. Think they were painkillers, or were they laxatives?

Remember the ads on the trams, and Cloudland. Had the best spring floor in the southern hemisphere

@@nancyhobson9710 Sure did. I liked Sir Joh, but the demolition of Cloudland was a sad affair if understandable. Unfortunately, the era and the style of dancing Cloudland had been built for had passed rendering it commercially unviable. I attended several dances there, the last as recently as 1974.

I'd say so
