Electric


This week's theme is electric.

In 1908 the electric tram came to Adelaide. Until the late 1950's there were several electric tram lines serving the city. Today there is just one remaining tram line that runs the 12 kilometers from Adelaide CBD to Glenelg. Trams run every 15-20 minutes, and the full trip takes about 30 minutes. On Saturday and Sunday, they run the old vintage cars (pictured above), 3 times each day.

  9. Hi Maya, that's a great photo of your electric tram. How wonderful that you get to ride it almost daily.

    Btw, I love your blog. Your header photo is very beautiful and you have such a great sense of adventure and love for nature. I enjoyed your entry on exploring the Eyre Peninsula a lot.

    Have a great day today!
