On the eve of Anzac Day it is perhaps appropriate to share an image
related to 'those who also served' - the thousands of women and men who
made the explosives and munitions for Australian troops in wartime.
The West Maribyrnong tram line was built to take those workers to the
factories in Melbourne's west. It runs beside the aptly name Cordite Ave.
Mal Rowe - who has just now noticed the concrete pillar visible at left
which probably supported a guarded securtity gate in wartime.

Is the track as rough as it looks (or is that exaggerated due to use of a telephoto lens)?

It is certainly a bit rough, but nowhere near as bad as the tele lens

makes it look.
The 'official' focal length in the EXIF data is 200mm, but by the time
you take into account the sensor size on my camera and cropping of the
image it's probably equivalent to around 500mm on a standard 35mm camera.
Mal Rowe - prone to exaggeration in his photographs
