While we're on the topic.. I have a street directory of Sydney from when Darling Harbour was a goods yard.. I would guess its around 50 years old (Opera House was just a tram shed).. if anyone is interested I can upload a few of the inner city pages. Heck I even made a google earth overlay using the inner city pages which I can probably upload somewhere if someone wants it.
Would love to be able to figure out where abouts all this stuff is in relation to darling harbour today.. amazing to see how much everything has changed...
The light rail uses the main alignment that runs up from Ultimo road thru to the casino, and on to the fishmarkets, Glebe & Lillyfield. Soon to be extended to Dulwich Hill

Yes. The 73 class took over from the 19 class steam locos from about 1970.

What a great doco, certainly reflects the laid back style of the period.
