The Australian Bureau of Statistics marked the 65th anniversary of the
closure of Sydney's electric tram system with the attached graphic on
facebook.

It shows the number of people employee as tram drivers by state as
recorded in the last census.

Several people have remarked on the 8 "Sandgropers" who reported
themselves as tram drivers.

Perhaps the 'trams' on Rottnest and at Pemberton are the explanation.

Or Whiteman Park? A few of us retirees only have one job, albeit unpaid, a tram driver at Whiteman park. 😊

Noel in Perth who will be taking one of the most colourful tramway identities ever for a ride on the tram tomorrow.
