Since it looks like the Flinders St Station candidate from last week won't get through, thought I would nominate the historic 1927 image that so many people said they liked. Some interesting things include the mix of motor vehicles and horse drawn carts on the streets, and it appears the trams are electrified, at least in Swanston St (earlier than I would have thought). To me it is a fantastic picture of the station, has historic and encyclopaedic value, shows how little (and much) the station has changed in eighty years, and is pretty good size and quality for its age. It appears in the Flinders Street Station, Flinders Street, Melbourne, and Melbourne articles. It was uploaded by User Gsl on commons. Don't know the original photographer, but it is in the public domain as it's out of copyright.
I wish they'd make trams do hook turns! BTW, if you were serious, the hook turn article doesn't mention this, but if my memory serves me correct hook turns weren't introduced until somewhere around the early 1980s. Most horses and carts were off the streets by then. :) --jjron10:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Support. It's a good and fairly large image, and I couldn't find any similar historical featured pictures with both architecture and people. erikD16:53, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
