Sydney Tramways: Anzac Parade Junction (c.1928)
Title:
Sydney Tramways: Anzac Parade Junction (c.1928)
NFSA ID
20035
Year
1928
At Anzac Parade Junction, trams carry crowds from the racecourse to Circular Quay and from the Sydney Showground to Central Station.
The busy intersection is a bustling chaos of trams, buses, cars and pedestrians all of which are kept in order by the adept directions of traffic police.
The camera films from a slightly elevated vantage point at one corner of the intersection, following the movement of the traffic as it flows across the junction.

This silent black-and-white footage shows how the tram system in Sydney handles large crowds, including footage of the busy intersection at Anzac Parade Junction.
