electric tram in Elizabeth Street, Sydney

A scene literally around the corner from the one in Liverpool Street, this shows an electric tram in Elizabeth Street in the 1900s. Sydney had an extensive tramway system which peaked at a maximum of 291 km in 1923, but it was steadily reduced in the 1950s and closed in 1961. Another photo from the Powerhouse Museum.
