Tram at the West End terminus Brisbane ca. 1917

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The Brisbane tramway network served the city of Brisbane, Australia, between 1885 and 1969. It ran on standard gauge track. The electric system was originally energised to 500 volts, and subsequently increased to 600 volts. All tramcars built in Brisbane up to 1938 had an open design. This proved so popular, especially on hot summer nights, that the trams were used as fundraisers and often chartered right up until the last service by social groups.[1] Most trams operated with a two-person crew – a driver (or motorman) and a conductor, who moved about the tram collecting fares and issuing tickets. The exceptions to this arrangement were on the Gardens line (Lower Edward Street) where the short duration of the trip meant it was more effective for passengers to simply drop their fare into a fare box as they entered the tram; and the "one man cars" which operated in the early 1930s.

    West End was one of the first suburbs of Brisbane to be serviced by a tram line, being opened in 1885. Initially the tram was horse-drawn and terminated in Boundary Street, but in 1897 the line was electrified and extended to the corner of Hardgrave Road and Hoogley Street, via Vulture Street.[18] It was subsequently extended down Hoogley Street to the ferry terminus at the end of Hoogley Street in 1925.[19] The tram line closed on 13 April 1969.

Hotel Tully, ca. 1929

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Hotel Tully, on Queensland’s Cassowary Coast, has hit the market amid increasing interest in tourism-laden regional assets. Commonly known as the ‘Top Pub’, Hotel Tully was built in 1926 and is considered a local landmark, with direct frontage to main road Butler street, exposed to vehicles and pedestrians. Its 2,224sqm lot enjoys dual street access and connectivity to the Bruce Highway. The town of Tully is situated along the Great Green Way, between Cairns and Townsville, around 1,500 kilometers northwest of Brisbane. It is surrounded by a veritable flock of tourist attractions, including the Tully Heritage Trail, Golden Gumboot, Hearts Full of Hope Statue, Tully Sugar Mills & Tours, Mount Tyson, Alligators Nest, Tully Gorge & Falls, White Water Rafting, and the Murray Falls.
