The Sydney Tramway Museum is celebrating 60 years of operation on Sunday
23rd of February.

See: https://www.facebook.com/SydneyTramwayMuseum/

or https://www.sydneytramwaymuseum.com.au/visit-us/upcoming-events/

I'll be there and look forward to meeting some of you.

Here are some snaps from my first visit - when museum operations were
just 4 years old.

Any idea of the people in the pictures?

Looks like Dennis O’Brien with his hands on his head. Standing beside 99u.

Mal,
Some memories from the old site!
We obviously crossed paths on the day.

Paul – Doesn’t look at all like Dennis.   But I can’t place either of the guys.

Gents,

 

                I will say Mike Giddey on 99u and David Rawlings standing next to him looking at the overhead. Unfortunately both names should now be prefixed “The late.”

All,

 

Dennis O’Brien agrees that it is Mike Giddey on 99u. Dennis says it is not him standing alongside, and I can’t identify that person. David Rawlings? - maybe.
