Why?
Chatting with tram enthusiasts, I found myself more and more drawn into their world. Writing about trams became a welcome break from school stress, and it turned into a project I’ve passionately updated each year since then. Fast forward to 2023, and I’m proud to have sold over 800 copies.
The book has been shaped with help from the community and the Melbourne Tram Museum—big thanks to Warren Doubleday and Mal Rowe for their guidance.
'Trams of Melbourne' is more than just a book; it's a passion project that explores the city's tram history and celebrates the unsung heroes behind it.
