About this audio guide
This guide to the old tram depot site in Paddington, Brisbane, traces the night of September twenty-eighth, nineteen sixty-two, when the timber depot on Latrobe Terrace burned before a crowd of thousands. It follows the depot workers who saved what they could, the council's admission that nothing inside was insured, and the arson and corruption rumors that followed for years. Listen for the phoenix badge that later marked the salvaged trams.
