The tram was built by the NSW Govt's State Metal Quarries in 1913-14, in Terralong and Manning Sts, connecting the blue metal quarry on Pike's Hill with the harbour and the railway station. It transported some goods back to the quarry, but its main purpose was the 'blue metal' [basalt stone, crushed to road metal size), to the harbour (Robertson Basin). Never carried passengers - illegal. In 1935 the SMQ was sold to Quarries Limited. The tram closed in either 1940 or 41. The locomotive is a Davenport 0-4-0ST, it is heading to the quarry - towards the camera - with a rake of empty trucks. The South Coast railway bridge can be seen in the background - it is still there.

Lloyd Nelson Lamble (8 February 1914 – 17 March 2008) was an Australian actor who worked in theatre, television, radio and film. He lived and worked for most of his life in the United Kingdom.

Lloyd Lamble was born in Melbourne, Victoria, to William Henry Sylvester Lamble and Francis Alma Spencer Lamble (née Potter). He was the youngest of four children, all boys. His father William Lamble was a viola player in the Sisserman String Quartet and in symphony orchestras in Melbourne; secretary of the Musicians' Union of Australia; a music teacher, pianist, organist, choirmaster and composer. His grandfather was a music professor.

Lloyd was married three times in Australia. His first marriage in 1937 to Marjorie Ellerton Barrett (1913-1978) ended in divorce in 1943. His second marriage in 1945 to (Doris) Barbara Smith (1911-2010) also ended in divorce in 1948, though they had two children together. His third marriage was in his early thirties to actress Lesley Jackson. Lloyd and Lesley adopted two children and remained together for over 60 years.

Lamble was president of Actors Equity of Australia from 1942 to 1948.

In the early 1950s, Lloyd could not get acting work. After a year of selling clothing door-to-door to survive, he left Australia to live the rest of his life in Britain.

He donated a copy of his 1994 unpublished autobiography to the National Library of Australia. The book reveals that he was not satisfied with his personal or professional achievements, despite his obvious talents and successes.
