Windback Wednesday - Burnside Tram Network

Did you know we once had trams in the City of Burnside? There used to be a number of lines that ran through the City of Burnside area, from horse drawn trams in the late 1800s and early 1900s to the electric trams that ran until the late 1950s. To this day there remain tram poles in the Council area, some that you may possibly drive or walk past each day! Have you seen any in your daily travels?
