I just thought this would be the perfect time to share a photograph that shows a typical Melbourne Christmas scene.The trams are such a symbol of this city that a mockup of an old W-class tram played a starring role in the opening ceremony of the Melbourne Commonwealth Games this year.
The old trams still ply on some routes, but the tram in this shot is a much more modern version and the red colour is in perfect keeping with the festive season. This picture was taken on the corner of Flinders Street and Swanston Street, in the heart of the central business district.
The entire street is festooned with the stars you can see in this picture, but can you spot the other Christmas touch? Yes, you're right. The advertisement on the front and side of the tram is for Antler luggage, a very appropriate touch when Santa and his reindeer have dominated our thoughts.
