hi all, Saturday here, so just after 6am this morning i went back to the old tram line siding and stop at Calfornia Gully. Over the years i have some nice relics at this spot. The tram line in this part of town ran from the late 1880's threw to the 1960's. trams were replaced by buses and the old track was pulled up. Mostly only found junk but this token is my first of this type .Sorry i cannot date this one but i think its from the 1920's when the Melbounre Trams owned the local tramway. Here a pic of the last tram in 1966 and a 1920,s and a pic steam tram 1890's tinpan

Tram tokens are pretty collectable over here, never had one yet.

Shows you could travel for only 1.5 pence!
