Hello Rowan, Thornbury. Our trams were the St George's Road ones. I remember double-decker buses along the High Street route. In the 1980s True-Love and I had a resident gig in a pub in Collingwood (suburb between Northcote and Fitzroy). I was welcomed back as a "local". Because I'd been a nurse I was considered special. We had some good times there.
Cheers, Joy
