Published to commemorate the centenary of the inauguration of electric tramway services in Hobart on 21 September 1893 — making Hobart's the first successful electric tramway network in the Southern Hemisphere.
Ian G. Cooper's review covers the history of the Hobart tram system from that 1893 inauguration through its development and eventual closure — the routes, the vehicles, the operations and the place the trams held in Hobart's daily life for the better part of a century.
At 64 pages with colour and black and white photographs throughout, this is a compact centenary tribute to a tram system that Hobart residents of a certain age remember with considerable affection.
