Golden Gate/"Sausalito Summernight"
Golden Gate Bridge, taken in September 1987.
We were on our way to Sausalito (or, it's possible this photo was taken on our way back from there). I SO wanted to go to Sausalito because of this song. Now I remember only those big houses on the hills there.

Sausalito Summernight
(Diesel)
We left for Frisco in your Rambler
The radiator runnin’ dry
I’ve never been much of a gambler
And had a preference to fly
You said, “Forget about the airline,
Let’s take the car and save the fares”
We blew a gasket on the Grapevine
And eighty dollars on repairs
All on board (Sausalito summernight)
Hot summernight in Sausalito
Can’t stand the heat another mile
Let’s drop a quarter in the meter
And hit the sidewalk for a while
I’ll have a burger and a rootbeer
You feed the heap some multigrade
A shot of Premium to boot, dear
Will get her ’cross the Golden Gate
All on board (Sausalito summernight)
Another mile or two to Frisco
Two hundred gallons from L.A.
The engine’s stompin’ like a disco
We oughta dump her in the bay
All on board (Sausalito summernight)
Cashin’ all my checks
Scrapin’ out my bank
Spend it on a Rambler with a whirlpool in the tank
Look out overhere!
Watch out overthere!
Can’t afford a blow-out cause we haven’t got a spare
Hot summernight in Sausalito (Sausalito summernight)

Perth 121
On Thursday, June 16, 2011, PETS finally brought 2nd A class tram 121 to Whiteman Park. It was built in 1928 and has now spent some decades in a yard in Forrestfield.
Some years ago I wrote this poem:
Perth Electric Tramway
by Graham Lees
Back in the years before the war when I first came to this land,
What we call the suburbs now was mostly scrub and sand.
The streets were rough and pot-holed from hoof and heavy load.
They laid two iron tram rails down the middle of the road.
From the Causeway down to Como and through Victoria Park
These wooden beasts would glide along from dawn till after dark.
To Claremont and to Subi, from Perth to Inglewood,
I'd ride those Perth Electric Trams as often as I could.
On Saturdays, Mum, Dad and I watched football in the town.
We'd catch the tram down Beaufort Street and then 'shank' it to the ground
And when I started courting, I lived out in the 'sticks'.
My girl and I would catch the tram to and from the flicks.
But streets and times got better. More motors shared the road.
The council said the tramway would finally have to go.
They all were old and past repair, their days were at an end.
Modern fleets of diesel buses were the latest trend.
But sometimes on a summer night when I'm hot and half asleep,
I dream I hear those wooden trams, rattling down the street.
