Romance of Fremantle Tramways celebrates twenty years
The Fremantle tramway story recalls the 1906 opening led by Mayoress Mary Lamgon and Fremantle officials. Fremantle Council built a 10 mile network with 14 miles in service today, funded by public bonds, private firms, and ratepayers. The board shows gains for electricity, while the gas trust profited from a wired protest, and the tramway provided a £9,000 profit last year despite past losses.
