This is a project from back in 1993/94 that was originally aimed essentially at tourists but also tram enthusiasts. It has since become a valuable time capsule of many aspects of Melbourne from 30 years ago. So many things have gone and others totally changed.

The program was shot and mastered on Betacam SP (broadcast quality at the time), though unfortunately I'm not sure where the master tape is. This upload was digitised from VHS and run through Topaz AI, providing a reasonable technical quality. If someone knows where the master tape is (and a tape labled ARE L2), I'd like to hear from you :)

A huge thank you to all those wonderfully friendly and helpful employees of what was the PTC at the time.
