Howdy folks!
'Ding Dings Downunder' will consist of all the tram and light rail shots I have managed to take around Australia over the years.
These will be a mixture of ones in service, or in preservation. While mostly around New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, and South Australia, preserved trams from elsewhere will likely appear over time.
One major drawback of years of neglecting to catalogue over 300,000 photos is that I'm now playing catch-up. While I've managed to organize thousands of images on this blog across various themes, there are still countless others sitting around waiting for their moment.
To tackle this backlog, I'm embarking on a mission to sort through and categorize a substantial number of these photos in the coming months. Expect to see posts dedicated to locomotives, carriages, infrastructure, trams, and buses, catering to those with even a passing interest in these subjects.
Prepare for the approaching tsunami of photographs from the 80s till today.
If you have an interest in aviation and other guff, check out my
