Mt Victoria Tram Tunnel

About this image

Description

The Mt Victoria entrance to the tram tunnel (now bus tunnel) as viewed from the top of Pirie Street. The tunnel was completed in 1907 as part of a major city council project to improve public transport infrastructure via the installation of an electrified tramway network. This made commuting to the central city for work much easier and encouraged housing development in the eastern suburbs. Note that the postcard uses the obsolete name and spelling of "Kelbirnie Tunnel"
